Started out slightly dull but grew better. Cute, cute little thing. The drawings are scarce but fun in a gothic childish way. Think of Nightmare before Christmas kind of thing. I did laugh aloud a few times, humorous moments especially when things really got going. Easy to visualize what was going on from the writing style. The characters were fun and easy for adults and children alike to latch on to. The story was complex and complicated enough to be daring, original, and makes this fill up with substance. The ending was a little twisted with what happened with the plant, and ironic with the very end, but this fits into the bizarre gothic trend the author is going for. The end of the book has a code to unlock things on the site, where apparently there are games and other things. Will actually check it out. The only edition I have of the series but if I run into more, will pick it up. At 152 pages it is not a quick, light read for the young ones, but interesting for them and adults as well will appreciate the fun humor (especially the bees) ( )

This is dark humor for children and it's funny...I laughed so much.

The mayor wants to take over Edgar & Ellen's home...condemn it and turn it into a Community Redevelopment project.

Scheming against the town people (as always) Edgar & Ellen find a way to save their home and discredit the Mayor.

These misfits twins and their adventures are hilarious, even though they often backfire. In this book they discover a secret lab and mysterious stranger. ( )
