Special Effects Fun with Nick and Tesla

This Nick and Tesla mystery guides readers in brewing STEM-based special effects that might be perfect for Halloween-themed fun.

Need something to read this weekend before the Trick-or Treat fun begins? Nick and Tesla's Special Effects Spectacular: A Mystery with Animatronics, Alien Makeup, Camera Gear, and Other Movie Magic You Can Make Yourself! might be a just-right science-filled choice to tie in with trick-or-treat-fueled excitement.

The plot of this book, number 5 in the series, centers around movie-making, but with the twins exploring (and sharing with readers) special effects activities like making "Horrifyingly Horrible Alien Zomboid Makeup," this is a title that can carry middle readers right through Halloween and beyond.
