- Book 2 of 6: Nick and Tesla
A rash of robberies has hit Half Moon Bay, and 11-year-old sleuths Nick and Tesla are determined to catch the criminals. But cracking this case will require some serious scientific backup—so the inventive twins start building their own army of homemade robots.
As the twins race to uncover the truth, young readers can take the science off the page with step-by-step instructions for building robot projects themselves. Mystery, humor, action, and hands-on engineering come together in an adventure that invites kids to become inventors right alongside Nick and Tesla.
- An action-packed middle-grade STEM adventure that follows twins Nick and Tesla as they sleuth, engineer, and create clever inventions to solve mysteries
- Includes five DIY science projects with step-by-step instructions and blueprints that kids can create at home
- Features robots like hoverbots or battlebots that can be made from ordinary household objects
- Intriguing mystery, non-stop action, hilarious jokes, and hands-on experiments are perfect for keeping middle grade readers engaged and experimenting
- The perfect pick for curious young readers interested in science, gadgets, mysteries, and DIY projects
Become an inventor and use your engineering imagination and detective skills to help Nick and Tesla solve the mystery!
