INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Ogden, Charles

Rare Beasts

(4) 4-6 Edgar and Ellen series. Illustrated by Rick Carton. In order to raise money to fund their diabolical schemes, Edgar and Ellen--two unlikable, gruesome twins with a penchant for mischief--kidnap all the pets in Nod's Limbs, give them exotic makeovers (since rare beasts are a valuable commodity), and try to sell them for a bundle. Though slow moving, Ogden's story is original and unpredictable. The bold black-and-white spot illustrations add atmosphere.
