The Templeton Twins Have an Idea (Book 1)

Product Description

Written by Eillis Weiner – Illustrated by Jeremy Holmes

“Suppose there were 12-year-old twins, a boy and girl named (respectively) John and Abigail Templeton. Let’s say John was pragmatic and played the drums and Abigail was theoretical and soled cryptic crosswords. Now suppose their father was brilliant, if sometimes confused, Inventor. And suppoe that another set of twins – adults – named Dean D. Dean and Dan D. Dean kidnapped the Templeton twins and their ridiculous dog in order to get their father to turn over some of his genius (sort of) inventions. Yes, I was kidnapped. Wouldn’t it be fun to read about that? Oh, please. It would so.

Luckily for you, this is just the first in a series perfect for boys and girls who are smart, clever, and funny (just like the twins), and who enjoy reading adventurous stories (who doesn’t?!).”
