Young inventors Nick and Tesla find a new lead in the search for their missing parents. After discovering a traitorous agent, the twins are kidnapped and held hostage to force their parents to convert their solar-powered invention into a weapon. As usual, this sixth series entry achieves an enjoyable balance of mystery, humor, and DIY science projects. Two-color illustrations are included.
