Gadgets and Gears-The Mesmer Menace by Kersten Hamiliton illustrated by James Hamilton

My nine year old read this book to himself but throughout his reading, he would share funny tidbits.
He really enjoyed this book.
Wally Kennewickett is an inventor who lives with his genius scientist parents.  When the evil Mesmers try to hypnotize the world, they have no idea what they are against when they begin their scheme with Wally!
Pair with Mesmeized by Mara Rockliff.
This book is part of a series but unfortunately our county library system only owns book #1 (this book).  My son would love to read the rest of the series.
Perfect for readers who love science.
