Super-smart kid inventors Nick and Tesla Hold have outsmarted crooks, spies, and kidnappers, but now it's time to crack their biggest mystery yet: where the heck are their parents? With the help of their eccentric Uncle Newt, the twins trace the clues to their missing Mom and Dad, scientists working on solar-power research for a clandestine government project. They'll need all their wits, along with an assortment of homemade gadgets, to outsmart the criminal mastermind who's trying to turn solar power into a secret weapon. Featuring instructions for building and using five awesome solar-powered contraptions--a hot dog cooker, alarm bell, listening device, model car, and nighttime LED signal cannon--this sixth installment is sure to please budding scientists and sleuthers alike.
4/5 stars (really liked it)
I received this free copy to review on my blog.
My almost 12-year old son read this book before me. We have read all the books in the series and both love them. He said that he really liked this one and thought it was the last one since it kind of wraps things up. He now wants to get some cans of Pringles and make the hot dog cooker.
I also liked this book and it did feel like it would be the last book in the series. I wish there was an epilogue at the end to see where Nick & Tesla are maybe a few months later. I loved that Uncle Newt was more involved in the adventure and not just a background character. I kind of would love to see a series with just Uncle Newt and what he was like as a kid as well as his brother (Nick & Tesla's father). Overall this is a really fun series to read for any age.
