Fourteen-year-old
Nick
has
learned
that
the
strange
antiques
in
his
attic
bedroom
were
left
there
by
the
eccentric
inventor
Nikola
Tesla.
They
are
pieces
of
Tesla's
Far
Range
Energy
Emitter,
capable
of
transmitting
"free
energy"
to
the
globe.
Some
components
of
the
contraption
are
still
missing,
but
the
objects
themselves
seem
to
be
leading
Nick
and
his
friends
to
their
current
owners.
However, members of the Accelerati, a menacing secret society of physicists, are on the hunt too, and their brazen leader, Dr. Alan Jorgenson, will stop at nothing to foil Nick and steal the objects. It takes a dangerous build-up of electromagnetic energy in the atmosphere to reverse everyone's fortunes--and lead Nick to his destiny.
Readers who enjoyed the strange science, quirky humor, and out-of-this-world plot twists in Tesla's Attic will be captivated by this second book in the electrifying Accelerati Trilogy.

Praise
forTesla's
Attic
"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."
