My Review
 
I have read every book in this series. Originally I got the first book for my nephews thinking this might be a book they would like. Well it ends up that I have fallen in love with this series just as much as them. I have grown very close to Nick, Tesla, their Uncle Newt, and their friends. Each of the mysteries that they find themselves solving is crazy fun. Nick and Tesla have solved several mysteries now so they are really getting better at solving them quickly.
 
However for some reason I could not get into this story as much as I have the other ones. While I did like the different setting. The mystery this time did not pull me in. It felt like the story either was fast paced by this I mean (glossed over with details off the antics) or not enough detail was spent on the mystery. Although I still enjoyed seeing how Nick, Tesla and their friends solved the mystery. There are some cool gadgets to build in this book. I do look forward to reading the next book in this series.
