About the Book
Ocean's 11 meets Spy School in this hilarious illustrated middle-grade series featuring the world's greatest minds.
"Let the official record show that, I, Nikki Tesla, did not intend to destroy the world."
There are only so many times a kid can invent an instrument of global destruction without getting grounded. So when Nikki's death ray accidentally blows up her bedroom (if you can call a pet ferret with an itchy trigger finger an accident), she's sent to the only place that can handle her. Genius Academy is a school for history's greatest brains. Leo da Vinci? Charlotte Darwin? Bert Einstein? All extraordinary. Yet even among her fellow prodigies, Nikki feels like an outsider thanks to a terrible secret she can't let anyone discover. Ever.
But when her death ray is stolen, Nikki must stop worrying about fitting in and learn to play nice with her new classmates. Because it doesn't take a genius to track a thief around the world, outwit the authorities, and keep a French fry-fanatic ferret happy. It takes all of them.
My Take on the Book
WOW, this was a book that was a thrill ride from beginning to end. You get a mix of action, adventure, suspense, mystery, humor and more in this book. While it was written for tweens, I have to say that even as an adult I found it to be an enjoyable read. The characters were ones that were developed well and they really know their stuff. They are based on real people who were geniuses, so even better, right?
We loved all of the twists and turns in the book as it kept you guessing and on the edge of your seat. It is a quick story and in the end you do get some closure that makes you want more! This is definitely a book I would recommend to all!
