The Misadventures of Edgar & Allan Poe
review 1: Edgar and Allan are the great-great-great-great grandnephews of poet, Edgar Allan Poe. They are mischief-loving, horror book collecting, mind reading twins who live with their aunt and uncle and have a black cat named Roderick. In The Tell-Tale Start, Roderick disappears and the boys go on a quest to The Authentic Dorothy Gale Farm and OZitorium to get him back. Unfortunately, the proprietor is not what he seems.Some of my favorite details include the help they receive from their great-great-great-great granduncle beyond the grave, the "What the Poe twins did not know..." sections, and the "P.O.E.S." that show up through out the book.
review 2: TCL call number: J McAlpine GStephanie’s rating: 4 starsThis book was a joy to read! Edgar and Allen Poe are twins
... more that are too smart for their own good! They love obscurities and tend to create trouble everywhere they go! Of course they don’t mean it! It’s just in their nature! But wouldn’t that entire ruckus get them noticed? Yup! Well it just so happens that Professor S. Panghorn Perry, has devised a most villainous plot to kill one of the Poe twins and prove that “Quantum Entanglement” is indeed a possibility! Although intelligent these boys can be, they still need help, and who better to serve them useful hints than their great great great great granduncle, Mister Edgar Allen Poe, who does so from the Great Beyond. He uses his witty writing to send messages camouflaged in fortune cookies, license plates, and posters. Kids will have a fun time reading the adventures, better yet the misadventures of twins Edgar and Allen Poe! less
