Toy Inventor: The Best Job
Vincent Shadow is an inventor, a toy
inventor. Luckily for him, he is about to have an internship at the best toy
company in the world! Or, it would have been lucky if he had inventions to
build. After his first day as an intern, the company owner dies. Without toys,
the future of the company looks bleak. If only Vincent could uncover the
secrets of the famous scientist, Nikola Tesla. Surely, if he could do that,
anything is possible.
The Top Secret Toys has a plot that is much different from
many books I have read. Instead of starting slow then speeding up or starting
in the middle and back-tracking with the plot, it starts with a question. Being
that I aspire to be an inventor myself, I found the story intriguing. I also have
an interest in the work of the real-life Nicola Tesla as well. Although
not gripping or exciting, I liked the mystery of the plot. There are
illustrations of inventions also, something I really appreciate. This is a good
read, but not generally as fast-paced as I would like, so I gave this book
three stars.
