The Templeton Twins Have an Idea

(1 reviews with an average rating of 5 out of 5)

Publisher: Chronicle Books

Twelve-year old John and Abigail Templeton are twins: John loves to play the drums whilst Abigail is a whiz at cryptic crosswords. Their Father, Professor Elton Templeton of Elysian University loves to invent things - the wackier, the better. But when ex student Dean D Dean and his twin brother Dan D Dean kidnap John and Abigail and their ridiculous dog Cassie, life becomes unexpectedly complicated. Will the Professor have to turn over his latest genius invention to the kidnappers - or will John and Abigail manage to outwit them?

This clever, witty story is packed with puns, word games and puzzles and is accompanied by plenty of engaging illustrations from Jeremy Holmes. A fast-paced adventure with a scientific theme that will appeal to boys and girls alike.
