* "Full STEAM ahead on a series debut equally charged with personal issues and science in (dramatic) action." Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"Keating's action-packed mystery... combines intelligence with superhero appeal. Nikki's comical narration is printed on graph-paper pages and embellished by illustrations, all of which give STEM a fun new spin." Booklist
"Nikki is a heroine readers will want to tag along with in the promised series... [which] calls up Disney's Kim Possible, an apt echo as fans of that show will enjoy the female-led action here." The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"This fast-paced caper features plot twists galore and a main character who confronts her past and learns that she can make friends along the way. A lively series kick-off." Publishers Weekly
