4-6Templeton Twins series.
Illustrated by
Jeremy Holmes.
The Templeton siblings' second adventure (The Templeton Twins Have an Idea) finds John and Abigail facing off against the villainous Dean D. Dean. This time Dean is trying to take credit for Professor Templeton's new invention: a device to show close-ups of actors onstage. The first book's formula of puns, puzzles, intrusive narrator (and snarky footnotes), and blue-inked digital illustrations is effectively repeated here.
