The Templeton Twins Have an Idea

(2) 4-6 Templeton Twins series. Illustrated by Jeremy Holmes. Thirteen-year-old twins John and Abigail's inventor/professor father has a new job at Tick-Tock Tech. There, twins Dean D. Dean (an angry former student) and Dan D. Dean kidnap the sibs; luckily, the kids' hobbies--cryptic-crossword-solving and drum-playing--come in handy. A direct-address narrator relates events, provides commentary, and poses satiric questions; digital illustrations and faux-scientific diagrams play up the story's humor.
