Reseña:  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 theyre 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 its 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.
