By: Gordon McAlpine | Illustrator:  Sam Zuppardi | Series: The Misadventures of Edgar & Allan Poe 
Meet Edgar and Allan Poe -- twelve-year-old identical twins, the great-great-great-great-grandnephews of Edgar Allan Poe. They look and act so much alike that they're almost one mischievous, prank-playing boy in two bodies. When their beloved black cat, Roderick Usher, is kidnapped and transported to the Midwest, Edgar and Allan convince their guardians that it's time for a road trip. Along the way, mayhem and mystery ensue, as well as deeper questions: What is the boys' telepathic connection? Is Edgar Allan Poe himself reaching out to them from the Great Beyond? And why has a mad scientist been spying on the Poe family for years?

With a mix of literary humor, mystery, a little quantum physics, and fun extras like fortune cookie messages, letters in code, license plate clues -- and playful illustrations thoughout -- this series opener is a perfect choice for smart, funny tweens who love the Time Warp Trio, Roald Dahl, and Lemony Snicket.

My niece LOVED this for her 3rd birthday
Format: Board book
My niece LOVED this for her 3rd birthday. She is really into baby animals and books, and she loved pressing the buttons (just like I did at her age). The illustrations are of course amazing. The pages are sturdy, but the way it was shipped the back cover was bent at the blue plastic part. Still wonderful, I put this on a wishlist for my future kids.
