Books like Edison's alley by Neal Shusterman
In "Edison's Alley," teenage inventor Nick St. Clair stumbles upon a collection of strange artifacts left by Nikola Tesla in his attic. These artifacts are fragments of a Far‑Range Energy Emitter, a device capable of broadcasting free energy to the entire globe.
Nick, along with a secretive group called the Accelerati, realizes that the remaining components of the emitter are missing. As each piece seems to find its way to the person who needs it most, Nick is thrust into a race against time to assemble the device before it falls into the wrong hands, while navigating the nebulous ethics of unlimited power.
Set against the backdrop of Colorado’s rugged landscape, the novel blends science‑fiction intrigue with the thrilling challenges of teenage adventure and the enduring allure of invention.
