Nick and Tesla's Secret Agent Gadget Battle by Bob Pflugfelder
2014, Quirk Books
Series: Book 3 of Nick and Tesla
Synopsis: In this third
installment of the series, 11-year-old whiz-kids Nick and Tesla discover
that someone in the quiet town of Half Moon Bay has placed their
beloved Uncle Newt under electronic surveillance—but who is spying on
him, and why? To expose the secret agent, Nick and Tesla build all kinds
of outrageous contraptions. Throughout the book, the narrative is
interrupted by blueprints and instructions so that budding young
inventors can follow along. Science and electronics have never been so
much fun!
The Good: This is definitely the best book in the series so far. The kids are being spied on and they have to find out who it is that they can't trust. The book was full of fun and educational science/spy gadgets kids and build themselves. The mystery a lot more entertaining in this book than some of the others, perhaps because it hit so close to home for the characters.
The Bad: The writing still isn't perfect or easy to get through but the story definitely makes up for it in this instance.
