Book
Nikki Tesla and the ferret-proof death ray / Jess Keating ; illustrated by Lissy Marlin.
Nikki Tesla is a genius, who amuses herself by inventing things, like her father. Unfortunately most of her inventions have serious, even lethal potential (like the death ray, which just blew a hole in her floor), so she is enrolled in the special Genius Academy with classmates who are equally exceptional. When her death ray disappears she sets out to find out who took it and what they are planning to do with it.

Sent to Genius Academy in the wake of a death-ray experiment gone wrong, young Nikki Tesla hides a terrible secret before the theft of her death ray forces her to set aside her insecurities and rely on the help of new friends. - Baker & Taylor
Nikki Tesla is a genius, so mostly she finds school boring, and amuses herself by inventing things, like her mysterious missing father; trouble is most of her inventions have serious, lethal potential (like the death ray, which just blew a hole in her floor); so she and her ferret are hustled off to the special Genius Academy with classmates who are equally exceptional, although she still worries about fitting in--but when her death ray disappears she has something bigger to worry about: who took it and what are they planning to do? - Baker & Taylor
When Nikki's death ray blows a hole in her bedroom floor, she and her ferret are sent off to the special Genius Academy where she worries about fitting in, which proves to be the least of her problems when her death ray goes missing. - ScholasticOcean's 11 meets Spy School in this hilarious illustrated middle-grade series featuring the world's greatest minds.
- ScholasticOcean's 11 meets Spy School in this hilarious illustrated middle-grade series featuring the world's greatest minds."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. Genius Academy is a school for history's greatest brains. Leo da Vinci? Charlotte Darwin? Bert Einstein? All extraordinary. Yet even among her fellow prodigies, Nikki feels like an outsider thanks to a terrible secret she can't let anyone discover. Ever.But when her death ray is stolen, Nikki must stop worrying about fitting in and learn to play nice with her new classmates. 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.
