4-6Edgar and Ellen series.
Illustrated by
Rick Carton.
Though twins Edgar and Ellen thought they had saved their junkyard and a rare insect-eating plant (in Tourist Trap), a hotel is still scheduled to be built on top of them. Edgar and Ellen try to sabotage construction, but another mysterious saboteur is foiling their plans. Though disappointing (the junkyard and plant are both destroyed), the story is original and unpredictable. The black-and-white spot illustrations add atmosphere.
