Templeton Twins

review 1: Twelve year old twins, Abigail and John, have moved with their dad to a new town. Their recently widowed dad, Professor Elton Templeton, was an inventor and teacher. He decided to go to work at a different university. Soon after they arrived and a nanny was hired, the Templetons met Dean D. Dean, a former student from thirteen years past who was bitter about failing the class. He claimed that the Professor's Personal One-Man Helicopter was his invention. He accused the Professor of stealing his idea to use it with a knapsack. Dean made a couple of attempts to gain the credit and financial assets to that invention. Being unsuccessful, he kidnapped the twins. Abigail and John, with the help of their hyper dog, outwitted Dean and his twin, Dan, and saved the day. I found Wein... moreer's writing style quite humorous. This is book one in a series about the Templeton twins.
review 2: The story telling is very similar to the Lemony Snicket books, in that the narrator seems unrelated and tells the story as if he were speaking to the reader and interjects his own comments frequently. Some of these are amusing, but they are a bit overused imo. John and Abigail, fraternal twins, are smart and somewhat unusual in their hobbies. After their mother dies, their father unexpectedly moves them when he takes a job at a new school. While there, a student the professor (father) flunked starts harassing the family, leading to the kidnapping of the twins. The rest of the story is how they get out and save the day. less
