Weiner, Ellis. The
Templeton Twins: Make a Scene, illustrated by Jeremy Holmes. 261 pages.
Chronicle Books, 2013. Content: G.
The second Templeton Twins
book (The Templeton Twins Have an Idea, 2012),
is reminiscent of A Series of Unfortunate
Events, the story is told by a quirky narrator and the children are
exceptionally clever and are able to see through the villains’ many disguises
and escape peril. John and Abigail
Templeton’s father the Professor has been hired by TAPAS (Thespian Academy of
Preforming Arts and Sciences) to make an invention. The dastardly duo from the first book return,
Dean D. Dean and Dan D. Dean, intent as always to sabotage and steal the
invention. Only the twins can stop
them. The writing style is witty with
footnotes, definition of words, questions for further study, and an appendix. The illustrations are in shades of blue and
add to the mystery and the fun. Clever
children everywhere will enjoy reading about the Templeton twin’s
adventures.
