The Templeton Twins Have an Idea
Book 1
By Ellis Weiner • Illustrated by Jeremy Holmes
Suppose there were 12-year-old twins, a boy and girl named John and
Abigail Templeton. Let’s say John was pragmatic and played the drums, and
Abigail was theoretical and solved cryptic crosswords. Now suppose their
father was a brilliant, if sometime confused, inventor. And suppose that another
set of twins—adults—named Dean D. Dean and Dan D. Dean, kidnapped
the Templeton twins and their ridiculous dog in order to get their father to
turn over one of his genius (sort of) inventions. Yes, kidnapped. Wouldn’t it
be fun to read about that? Oh please. It would so. Now in paperback, this is
just the first in a series perfect for boys and girls who are smart, clever, and
funny (just like the twins), and enjoy reading adventurous stories (who
doesn’t?!). And now, there’s more!
Ellis Weiner was an editor for
Spy magazine and National
Lampoon. He has also written
a lot of funny books for grownups.
The Templeton Twins are
his first books for children.
Jeremy Holmes is director of
his own design studio, Mutt Ink.
His debut book, There Was an
Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly,
received the prestigious Bologna-
Ragazzi Award, given annually
at the Bolgona Children’s Book
Fair. This is his third book for
children. He lives in Pennsylvania.
