Nick and Tesla are 11 year old kids, who love science and experiments. When their parents go missing, they are sent to their Uncle Newt, who they learn is a mad scientist. When one of their experiments lands into the yard of a creepy house, things get strange. They see a young girl in the window of the second floor, urging them to leave. A SUV is following them, and the twins alone with the help of 2 new friends must uncover a dangerous plot. An interesting part of this book is that there are instructions and blueprints within the book for some of the experiments the twins used. It is great to learn about science. I recommend this book for ages 9-12. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.
