(4) 4-6 Misadventures of Edgar & Allan Poe series. Illustrated by Sam Zuppardi. The evil-minded physics professor S. Pangborn Perry lures twins Edgar and Allan Poe, descendants of the famous author, to Baltimore in this wickedly satisfying trilogy conclusion. Tied to a table beneath a swinging blade, the boys must escape certain death. As in this book's predecessors, McAlpine's writing, filled with double-entendres and literary references, creates suspense in an animated setting.
