4.0
This review and many more can be found on my blog: Feed Your Fiction Addiction
An action-packed story filled with spy gadgets and international escapades! Nikki Tesla is a genius—in fact, she’s a little too smart for her own good. When her pet ferret sidekick and the death ray Nikki invented land her in trouble, she has no choice but to attend Genius Academy—the people who run it insist that they can protect the world from possible disastrous results from her inventions. Plus, she’ll meet other kids just like her! Not that Nikki’s all that interested in making friends. But when she gets to the academy, she finds that she has to rely on this new group of comrades (all based on historical figures) to outwit a thief who could use her invention for his own nefarious purposes. Unfortunately, she has trouble letting people in, and she’s afraid that if she tells her new friends the whole truth about her shady family background, they’ll see her as a threat instead of an ally. Nikki has to learn to trust and to rely on teamwork—a tall order for a girl who’s always felt alone.
Kids will be entertained by Nikki’s madcap adventures and they just might learn a little along the way!
