Publisher's summary

Ever since his father went missing, Eddie Edison has suspected that Lake Mohawk held dark secrets. But when he and his friends fish a strange, mechanical device from its murky depths, Eddie’s suspicions are confirmed. Pursuing the device’s origin, Eddie stumbles upon a mysterious, fantastical stranger who might have answers about his father’s disappearance as well as his own remarkable connection to the long lost Mad Scientists of New Jersey. With the imagination of Rick Riordan and the zaniness of Roal Dahl, this tale is sure to please.

Excellent YA/MG Story


I’m familiar with the other stories that Sorensen wrote. They could give me that bone-chilling fear without making me completely unable to go to bed. So, when I saw that he had a YA-themed book coming out, I knew I had to check it out.

The Mad Scientists of New Jersey was so much more than just a journey about one kid figuring out his place in the world. It was about friendships, loyalty, learning new things, finding long-lost family, and on and on. Sorensen packed it into this relatively short story without leaving anything behind.

I really enjoyed the story once it got going. I was sitting here late one-night listening and had to finish the book. I’d read around half of it earlier in the day, but that night – the final 50% – Sorensen just sprinted towards the end. There was so much going on that I had to know how it would end.

Overall, this was great. I tweeted about the cover on the audiobook edition. It goes HARD, and I love it. I think Sorensen nails the grittiness of the book, and the typeface used seems to, in my humble opinion, fit certain aspects of the story that, if I mentioned, would spoil it for others. It’s a nice nod to what’s to come.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
