Abigail and John are the intelligent twin children of Professor Elton Templeton, an inventor. Their mother has died and the Professor wants to move, so when the opportunity arises to teach at a different college and to use their facilities, the Professor jumps at it. They acquire Cassie, the Ridiculous Dog, and Nanny Nan the Nanny is employed to look after them. However, Dean D. Dean and his twin Dan D. Dean claim they gave the Professor the idea for one of his inventions, and when the Professor refuses to hand over the rights to it, they kidnap the twins. But they are soon to discover that the 12-yr old twins are not easy to outwit.A very original story with an equally original layout. I loved that at the end of each chapter there are 'Questions for Review', but they are just hilarious bits of fun, not serious questions at all. The author is also constantly joking with the reader and explaining long words, but mostly blowing his own trumpet by saying what a great author he is!
