Oddballs Book

So, I grew up with the Sleator family and his brothers Danny and Tycho were among my best friends. The book rang very true for me. I loved spending time with them because they were so unconventional, with a basement full of Van de Graff generators, magnets, and all" kinds of cool stuff. I found out about this book because my nephew was reading it and started laughing about a character named Tycho Barney George Clement Newby Sleator. My brother said, "No way!" and took a look at the book and called me about it. Anyway, I enjoyed reading it and I think young teens would like it.
