Booklist - 05/01/2023 Stepping out of supporting roles in Giles’ Legendary Alston Boys novels, the 12-year-old Ellison twins find themselves at odds and in danger after Wiki, the one with perfect recall and good social skills, is suddenly invited to join her awesomely brilliant but insecure gadgeteer sister, Leen, at a STEM summer camp sponsored by Petey Thunkle, the world’s richest technocrat. Even fans accustomed to the author’s distinctively screwy premises are in for a wild ride as not only has Thunkle disappeared just weeks before the scheduled launch of his mighty Interstellar-Z rocket but also Wiki is suddenly beset with weirdly conflicting sets of memories. Both situations turn out to be related, and their last-tick resolution is complicated by corporate spies and guilty techno secrets. Despite some friction (they had both been looking forward to a bit of separation), Leen and Wiki make a great team, and watching them in action as they work on their own relationship while simultaneously averting cosmic catastrophe juices up the emotional resonance as well as the action in this epic exploit. - Copyright 2023 Booklist.
