Nick
Slate,
in
order
to
protect
his
father
and
little
brother,
reluctantly
must
help
the
Accelerati
complete
Tesla's
great
device.
Their
power-mad
leader
wants
nothing
less
than
to
control
the
world's
energy--but
there
are
still
three
missing
objects
to
track
down.
Nick's friends can't help him, as they are spread across the globe grappling with their own mysteries--with Vince in Scotland, Caitlin and Mitch on their way to New Jersey, and Petula's whereabouts unknown. On his own, Nick must locate Tesla's final inventions-- which are the most powerful of all, capable of shattering time and collapsing space.
Praise for Tesla's Attic
* "...Shusterman and Elfman have crafted a plot more devious, characters far quirkier, climaxes (yes, there are two) more breathless, and a narration much, much funnier than recent mad-science offerings. Sticking with a third-person narration frees the authors to be as wryly and sophisticatedly witty as they please without compromising the veracity of their middle-school cast, resulting in storytelling as delightful as the story being told."
-Bulletin for the Center for Children's Books(starred review)
"Lively, intelligent prose elevates this story of teenagers versus mad scientists, the third-person point of view offering a stage to various players in their play of galactic consequence. A wild tale in the spirit ofBack to the Future, with a hint of Malamud'sThe Naturaltossed in."--Kirkus Reviews
"This collaboration between Shusterman and Elfman tempers the scarier elements of Nick's quest with deft, humorous writing and plenty of the ordinary adventures of a new kid in school finding his niche. Hand this one to fans of Rick Riordan's Kane Chronicles or Kenneth Oppel's Airborne."--Booklist

"...Shusterman
and
Elfman
have
crafted
a
plot
more
devious,
characters
far
quirkier,
climaxes
(yes,
there
are
two)
more
breathless,
and
a
narration
much,
much
funnier
than
recent
mad-science
offerings.
Sticking
with
a
third-person
narration
frees
the
authors
to
be
as
wryly
and
sophisticatedly
witty
as
they
please
without
compromising
the
veracity
of
their
middle-school
cast,
resulting
in
storytelling
as
delightful
as
the
story
being
told."
