Elements of Genius
Ocean's 11 meets Spy School in this hilarious illustrated middle-grade series featuring the world's greatest minds.
Meet Nikki Tesla
"Let the official record show that, I, Nikki Tesla, did not intend to destroy the world."
There are only so many times a kid can invent an instrument of global destruction without getting grounded. So when Nikki's death ray accidentally blows up her bedroom (if you can call a pet ferret with an itchy trigger finger an accident), she's sent to the only place that can handle her.
"Full STEAM ahead on a series debut equally charged with personal issues and science in (dramatic) action."
—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
Welcome to Genius Academy
Because it doesn't take a genius to track a thief around the world, outwit the authorities, and keep a French fry-fanatic ferret happy. It takes all of them.
"Keating's action-packed mystery...combines intelligence with superhero appeal. Nikki's comical narration is printed on graph-paper pages and embellished by illustrations, all of which give STEM a fun new spin."
—Booklist

There's one thing you should know about being a genius: it can land you in deep trouble. We're talking figutive trouble. Global meltdown trouble.
