4-6Edgar 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.
