Summary

After their home burns down, fourteen-year-old Nick, his younger brother, and their father move into a ramshackle Victorian house they've inherited. When Nick opens the door to his attic room, he's hit in the head by a toaster. That's just the beginning of his weird experiences with the old junk stored up there. After getting rid of the odd antiques in a garage sale, Nick befriends some local kids - Mitch, Caitlin, and Vincent - and they discover that all of the objects have extraordinary properties. What's more, Nick figures out that the attic is a strange magnetic vortex, which attracts all sorts of trouble. It's as if the attic itself has an intelligence…and a purpose.

Ultimately Nick learns that the genius Nikola Tesla placed the items-his last inventions-in the attic as part of a larger plan that he mathematically predicted. Nick and his new friends must retrieve everything that was sold at the garage sale and keep it safe. But the task is fraught with peril-in addition to the dangers inherent in Tesla's mysterious and powerful creations, a secret society of physicists, the Accelerati, is determined to stop Nick and alter destiny to achieve its own devious ends. It's a lot for a guy to handle, especially when he'd much rather fly 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.

Review of the whole series

This was a fun read. I'm older than the target audience, but I have enjoyed other stories by this author so I wanted to give this a try,
It's a little fantastical, but then so is a lot of good fiction. Its no more far fetched than, say, Harry Potter, or something like that.
It's basically a modern re-telling of Pandora's Box, set in the states. A 14 year old American boy's journey into finding all the objects that came from it (he accidently sold them in a yard sale). He meets friends and enemies along the way.

The narration is great. Although, for some reason, the changed the narrator to another reader after book one.
Both guys did a good job.

This series can be enjoyed by anyone looking for fun bit of escapism. But it's geared towards young teens, especially.
