Templeton Twins

review 1: Virginia Readers' Choice title for the upcoming school year. This is the 1st book in the series about 12-year-old twins John and Abigail and their professor/inventor father. After the twins' mother dies, they move to a new town with their father, who has a new job at the Tickeridge-Baltock Institute of Technology (Tick Tock Tech). Then the twins are kidnapped by Dean D. Dean, a former student of the professor who claims that the professor's invention of the Personal One-Man Helicopter was really his. Can the twins use their knowledge that they gain from their hobbies to escape and save their father? The story is at times funny and exciting, but I didn't care for the snarky narrator. Fans of Lemony Snicket may enjoy this story and the narrator. It is fairly easy to r... moreead and a good humorous mystery for middle grade readers.
review 2: John and Abigail Templeton are twins whose father is an inventor and professor at a university. When a disgruntled former student of their father kidnaps them, they must find a way to outsmart him.I chose this for a girl's book club I am doing for work this summer, but I'm kind of regretting it. The story itself is okay, but the narrator is unbelievably annoying, condescending, and rude. I know the narrator is meant to be amusing, but I think it misses the mark. This really put a damper on my experience with the book. Beyond the narrator, the story and characters are a bit bland, not bad, just bland. It will be interesting to hear what my book club kids think.The one thing I did enjoy is the illustrations, which are really cool and unique.So, I wrote the above review before the book club meeting. My personal thoughts still stand, but the girls loved it. They thought it was very funny. less
