Nick and Tesla's Secret Agent Gadget Battle (Nick and Tesla #3) by Bob Pflugfelder, Steve Hockensmith


What would you do if you had someone spying on you?


Quirk Books sent me a copy of this book for review (thank you).  This is the third in the series, so look for all three at your local bookstore.

The subtitle of this book is: A Mystery with Spy Cameras, Code Wheels, and Other Gadgets You Can Build Yourself.

Nick and Tesla like building gadgets and inventing things, so this is right up their alley.  They decide what to use, create it, set a trap and wait to see who they catch.  Will it be the odd guy in the basement, the exterminator who is afraid of spiders, or the two old ladies who are "housekeepers"?

Imagine their concern when the person they capture is not really the one that was spying on them.  Now imagine being captured and being unable to get away.  It's a good thing the kids are smart and know how to figure their way out of sticky situations.

You can do the science projects explained in the book just be careful.  Make sure young ones are supervised.  And have fun spying!
