Hawking's hallway - neal shusterman

Nick Slate, in order to protect his father and little brother, reluctantly must help the Accelerati complete Teslas great device.

Their power-mad leader wants nothing less than to control the worlds energy--but there are still three missing objects to track down.

Nicks friends cant help him, as they are spread across the globe grappling with their own mysteries--with Vince in Scotland, Caitlin and Mitch on their way to New Jersey, and Petulas whereabouts unknown.

On his own, Nick must locate Teslas final inventions-- which are the most powerful of all, capable of shattering time and collapsing space.

Praise for Teslas Attic * .

Shusterman and Elfman have crafted a plot more devious, characters far quirkier, climaxes (yes, there are two) more breathless, and a narration much, much funnier than recent mad-science offerings.

Sticking with a third-person narration frees the authors to be as wryly and sophisticatedly witty as they please without compromising the veracity of their middle-school cast, resulting in storytelling as delightful as the story being told.

-Bulletin for the Center for Childrens Books (starred review) Lively, intelligent prose elevates this story of teenagers versus mad scientists, the third-person point of view offering a stage to various players in their play of galactic consequence.

A wild tale in the spirit of Back to the Future, with a hint of Malamuds The Natural tossed in.

--Kirkus Reviews This collaboration between Shusterman and Elfman tempers the scarier elements of Nicks quest with deft, humorous writing and plenty of the ordinary adventures of a new kid in school finding his niche.

Hand this one to fans of Rick Riordans Kane Chronicles or Kenneth Oppels Airborne.
