Bright siblings—and amateur inventors—Nick and Tesla Holt
are back in this fourth installment of their whiz-bang middle-grade
series. This time, the twins are out to save science itself, as they
race against the clock to figure out why a robotic assortment of
history’s greatest scientists and inventors keeps going haywire. Is this
sabotage, robo-geddon…or something more sinister? To unravel the
mystery, they’ll have to keep adding all-new gadgets to their cyborg
glove as they stay one step ahead of a hidden adversary.
Together with zany scientist Uncle Newt and their friends
Silas and DeMarco, Nick and Tesla won’t give up until an answer is
found…but can they do it before time runs out? In this book, readers
will learn how to construct a super-cyborg gadget glove that has four
incredible functions: LED signal light, ultra-loud emergency alarm,
handy sound recorder, and UV secret message revealer. Science and
electronics have never been so much fun!
my thoughts:
Color me happy. I've just finished reading another installment in the fantastic Nick and Tesla series by "Science Bob" Pflugfelder and Steve Hockensmith. This time round, the brother/sister duo have to battle an unknown saboteur at the local science museum, where their Uncle Newt is currently working a gig. He's helping fix an exhibit of robots - the only problem is that they keep going haywire on him. And the museum is having a HUGE gala in mere hours, so time is of the essence. Of course, its not going to be easy for Nick and Tesla to figure out this mystery, what with security and the museum director keeping an eye on them. Then again, these two like a good challenge and they are up for the task with the help of their friends.
Except, Nick isn't really into solving another mystery. He's more concerned with the whereabouts of their parents who seem to be MIA. Plus, all the crazy things that have happened since their folks left them in their uncle's care have made him feel a bit anxious. And, then there's the fact that his sister always seems determined to meet danger head on. So, Nick is rather annoyed when Tesla pushes him to work on this new mystery alongside her and their two friends, Silas and DeMarco. Of course, once the adventure begins, he's right there by her side. And what an adventure it is - men dressed as dancing owls, gadget gloves, possible kidnapping, and so much more!
Nick and Tesla's Super Cyborg Gadget Glove is a fantastic read! Its chock full of science, fun, mystery, and a bit of danger. I swear these books get better and better with each new addition to the series. I'm eager to find out where the next book will take Nick and Tesla, and whether or not we will ever find out what his parents are hiding. And, I'm excited to find out what new gadgets there are to build alongside the book.
If you are looking for a fun book that will keep your kid entertained and teach them a bit about science, then check out Nick and Tesla's Super Cyborg Gadget Glove.
