I love finding books that I can get into with my daughter. Nick and Tesla is one of those books that parents and children (boy or girl) can love to read. Nick and Tesla are great characters that are extremely intelligent and inventive. They use their brains and whatever they can find in their Uncle's lab to create some really fun gadgets. The mystery was fairly straight forward and perfect for the pre-teen age group. I even enjoyed waiting to find out who the bad guys were and just what they were up to.

The projects in the book had fairly simple supply lists. The items I didn't have around the house (Mentos and PVC pipe and caps) would be fairly easy to come by and not very expensive. Since the projects need to be done outside, we haven't had a chance to do them yet in this cold December weather, but the instructions are very straight-forward with some well-placed diagrams to help. We are thinking of trying the robo-cat this spring.
