This special edition of The Templeton Twins Have an Idea: Book One also includes a sneak preview of The Templeton Twins Make a Scene: Book Two and a Q&A with the author. Oh yes, there is sure to be another recipe. Once again, there is drama (of course!), silliness, and suspense, as the twins (and their ridiculous dog) must thwart the dastardly Dean brothers in order to save the invention as well as their father (and the dog). This time, Abigail and John Templeton find themselves at TAPAS (the Thespian Academy of the Performing Arts and Sciences) where their father, the illustrious Professor Templeton, has been hired to invent a groundbreaking theatrical device. I cannot wait for the follow up novel, The Templeton Twins Make a Scene, which is due on in September.With its kid-perfect humor and dynamic illustrations, Book 1 of the hilarious Templeton Twins series left young readers clamoring for more. I can think of no other way to describe it but clever. Although 12-year-old twins Abigail and John Templeton headline the story. Reminiscent of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Templeton Twins Have an Idea is a book that will charm the socks off you. Much of the time, the Narrator is fishing for compliments or dropping a hint about how great he was, which was pretty fun. The book has a Narrator telling the story who is absolutely charming. Abigail has her unique puzzles, while John has his drums. The characters are oh so quirky - they all bring something different to the story. Each chapter ends with silly questions which really made me engage with the book even more.
The book is very fun to read and the format only enhances that. Jeremony Holmes's illustration and way The Templeton Twins Have an Idea is set up makes it very accessible for all readers.
The Templeton Twins Have an Idea is quirky and fun in a uniquely formatted book. This book was absolutely delightful - a must read for all fans of a good middle grade.
