This book is great! My sister picked it as her reading prize and she shared it with me. It has a bunch of really cool experiments that I want to try. The story is good too.

Nick and Tesla are bright 11-year-old siblings with a knack for science, electronics, and getting into trouble. When their parents mysteriously vanish, they’re sent to live with their Uncle Newt, a brilliant inventor who engineers top-secret gadgets for a classified government agency. It’s not long before Nick and Tesla are embarking on adventures of their own—engineering all kinds of outrageous MacGyverish contraptions to save their skin: 9-volt burglar alarms, electromagnets, mobile tracking devices, and more. Readers are invited to join in the fun as each story contains instructions and blueprints for five different projects.
In Nick and Tesla’s High-Voltage Danger Lab, we meet the characters and learn how to make everything from rocket launchers to soda-powered vehicles. Learning about science has never been so dangerous—or so much fun!

I love science and I love mystery and this book is both! It was awesome it was just as good as "Nick and Tesla's Special Effects Spectacular: A Mystery with Animatronics, Alien Makeup, Camera Gear & Other Movie Magic" I totally recommend it!!
With their parents in Uzbekistan, twins Nick and Tesla are sent to live with their crazy smart Uncle Newt. But the neighborhood they live in isn't as happy go lucky as they think it is. There is a mysterious girl in the window of an abandoned house, a black SUV that follows them everywhere, and a creepy man who is called "Mr. Snugg." Nick and Tesla create some scientific experiments to help them figure out who Mr. Snugg is, and why he is following them.
a totally awesome suspense. when mysterious things turn up at the "old Landrigan place"Nick and Tesla try to find outwhat is really behind this " home renovation ".
Nick and Tesla are twins who are going to be with their eccentric Uncle Newt for the summer. Their parents are government scientists who are studying dramatic soybean growth in Uzbekistan. The lab of their uncle is now their too. They discover an abandoned house. They build a rocket. Their rocket flies into the abortions house, along with Tesla's necklace/keepsake from their parents. They recruit two neighborhood kids to get the pendant. But things go wrong. Craziness goes to an extremely level. They eventually get the keepsake, but also help arrest two kidnappers, help a kidnapped girl reunite with her family, and discover their parents are more secretive than government scientists. They also taught me how to make inventions with household items.
Nick and Tesla are middle-school aged twins who are sent off to live with their eccentric uncle when their parents go to a strange country to study soybeans. They find their uncle is a mad scientist, which suits them fine as they are scientist enthusiasts. Then their home-made bottle rocket flew into an old house, which is guarded by two Rottweilers. Nick and Tesla use their inventions to sneak onto the grounds, and then they find a girl who wants them to go away for same unknown reason. The twins are chased off by two construction workers, but Nick and Tesla are suspicious. Who is the girl? Why does she want them to leave? Where are their parents really? This book is also very interesting as there are science experiments inside the book. There are materials and instructions listed, so you can make the experiments yourself. I enjoyed this book very much and recommend it.
It is a great book. Nick and Tesla find out their parents vanished. They were sent to the next closest relative, their Uncle, who often makes inventions, but mostly blow the house to Kingdom come. But it is a really fun adventure book, and shows you how to build cool mechanisme and gadgets. I used oe, and they are so crazy, it is actually possible. 5 star, hands down.
This book is about Nick and Tesla. They are two smart kids with a love for science. But when their parents suddenly vanish, they are sent to live with their Unlce who invents things for a secret government society.
I love this book! It shows you how to build cool things. I also love the adventure!!!!!!!!!
Nick and Tesla books are full of adventure and science. I love how the author adds ways you can do the experiments on your own. I love the books. If your career choice is anything to do with science I highly recommend these books.
