The Templeton Twins Have an Idea

The Templeton Twins Have an Idea introduces readers to John and Abigail, 12-year-old twins with contrasting but complementary personalities. When they, their inventor father, and their dog are kidnapped by a pair of adult twins, the children must rely on their intelligence, bravery, and teamwork to escape and protect their father's invention. This chapter book is packed with humor, adventure, and clever wordplay, making it an engaging read for children aged 4-11. Parents will appreciate the emphasis on problem-solving and the strong sibling bond, while kids will love the quirky characters and suspenseful plot.

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. Suppose there were 12-year-old twins, a boy and girl named John and Abigail Templeton. Let's say John was pragmatic and played the drums, and Abigail was theoretical and solved cryptic crosswords. Now suppose their father was a brilliant, if sometimes confused, inventor. And suppose 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 one of his genius (sort of) inventions. Yes, I said 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 enjoy reading adventurous stories (who doesn't?!).
