When Nick opens the door to his attic room, he's hit in the \u003cbr\u003e\nhead by a toaster. That's just the beginning of his weird experiences \u003cbr\u003e\nwith the old junk stored up there. After getting rid of the odd antiques\u003cbr\u003e\n in a garage sale, Nick befriends some local kids-Mitch, Caitlin, and \u003cbr\u003e\nVincent-and they discover that all of the objects have extraordinary \u003cbr\u003e\nproperties. What's more, Nick figures out that the attic is a strange \u003cbr\u003e\nmagnetic vortex, which attracts all sorts of trouble. It's as if the \u003cbr\u003e\nattic itself has an intelligence . . . and a purpose. Ultimately \u003cbr\u003e\nNick learns that the genius Nikola Tesla placed the items-his last \u003cbr\u003e\ninventions-in the attic as part of a larger plan that he mathematically \u003cbr\u003e\npredicted. Nick and his new friends must retrieve everything that was \u003cbr\u003e\nsold at the garage sale and keep it safe. But the task is fraught with \u003cbr\u003e\nperil-in addition to the dangers inherent in Tesla's mysterious and \u003cbr\u003e\npowerful creations, a secret society of physicists, the Accelerati, is \u003cbr\u003e\ndetermined to stop Nick and alter destiny to achieve its own devious \u003cbr\u003e\nends. It's a lot for a guy to handle, especially when he'd much rather \u003cbr\u003e\nfly under the radar as the new kid in town. Fans of intrigue, action, humor, and nonstop surprises are guaranteed a read unlike any other in Tesla's Attic, Book One of the Accelerati Trilogy. Praise for Tesla's Attic \"Lively,\u003cbr\u003e\n intelligent prose elevates this story of teenagers versus mad \u003cbr\u003e\nscientists, the third-person point of view offering a stage to various \u003cbr\u003e\nplayers in their play of galactic consequence. A wild tale in the spirit\u003cbr\u003e\n of Back to the Future, with a hint of Malamud's The Natural tossed in.\"--Kirkus Reviews \"This\u003cbr\u003e\n collaboration between Shusterman and Elfman tempers the scarier \u003cbr\u003e\nelements of Nick's quest with deft, humorous writing and plenty of the \u003cbr\u003e\nordinary adventures of a new kid in school finding his niche. Hand this \u003cbr\u003e\none to fans of Rick Riordan's Kane Chronicles or Kenneth Oppel's Airborne.\"--Booklist  *\u003cbr\u003e\n ..\".Shusterman and Elfman have crafted a plot more devious, characters \u003cbr\u003e\nfar quirkier, climaxes (yes, there are two) more breathless, and a \u003cbr\u003e\nnarration much, much funnier than recent mad-science offerings. Sticking\u003cbr\u003e\n with a third-person narration frees the authors to be as wryly and \u003cbr\u003e\nsophisticatedly witty as they please without compromising the veracity \u003cbr\u003e\nof their middle-school cast, resulting in storytelling as delightful as \u003cbr\u003e\nthe story being told.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Neal Shusterman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44251353448508,"sku":"9781423155133","price":1796.25,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/7706\/7836\/files\/the-accelerati-trilogy-book-one-tesla-s-attic-the-accelerati-trilogy-book-one-9781423155133.jpg?v=1776809103","url":"https:\/\/libertybooksstore.myshopify.com\/products\/the-accelerati-trilogy-book-one-teslas-attic-the-accelerati-trilogy-book-one","provider":"LibertyBooksStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
