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.
