Description

Twelve-year-old identical twins Edgar and Allan Poe are the great-great-great-great-grandnephews of the famous author. They share a mischievous streak, often getting into trouble together due to their uncanny resemblance. When their beloved black cat, Roderick Usher, is kidnapped and transported to the Midwest, the twins embark on a road trip with their guardians. As they travel, mayhem and mystery ensue, leading to questions about the twins' telepathic connection and whether Edgar Allan Poe himself is reaching out to them. A mad scientist has been spying on the Poe family for years, adding an element of intrigue to their adventure. With a mix of literary humor, mystery, and fun extras like fortune cookie messages and playful illustrations, this book is suitable for smart, funny tweens who enjoy humorous stories with a touch of the unknown. The story combines elements of mystery, adventure, and literary humor, making it an engaging read for fans of lighthearted tales with a touch of the unexpected.
