About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like their brain works differently than their peers and they need to see high intelligence or neurodivergence as a powerful asset rather than a social burden. Nikki Tesla and her team of young geniuses are back for a high-stakes heist to save a kidnapped friend, forcing Nikki to balance her technical brilliance with the messy emotions of trust and family reconciliation. This fast-paced adventure explores the complexities of loyalty and the yearning for a parent's approval, specifically through Nikki's hope that her criminal father might be misunderstood. It is a perfect middle-grade read for ages 8 to 12, offering a blend of STEM-heavy problem solving and deep emotional resonance. Parents will appreciate the way it models collaboration among diverse, strong-willed personalities who learn that they are stronger together than they are as isolated prodigies.
