The Accelerati Trilogy

review 1: It was really a blast working with my friend Eric Elfman on this book series. Stylistically it’s kind of a cross between “The Eyes of Kid Midas,” and “The Schwa Was Here,” with an absurd sense of humor, and action-oriented plot. Eric and I would constantly make ourselves laugh in the process - and our love of Tesla made the project a dream to work on. We made it accessible for kids, but with plenty of sophistication for adult readers as well. We also wove in some history, science, and math lessons in a painless sort of way. Next up is book two of the Accelerati Trilogy - Edison’s Alley!
review 2: Two brothers and their father move into a house in Warm Springs, CO willed to them by a great aunt after their mother is killed in a fire that destroys... more their house in Florida. 14 yr old Nick claims the attic as his room and has a garage sale to get rid of the junk. After people are compelled to buy everything he has, Nick discovers that the items have strange properties. He and three friends discover that they are all Nicholas Tesla's inventions and they pose a danger to the world so they try to retieve them. Fun read with some science thrown in. Highly recommended to middle schoolers. 1st in series. less
