(3) 4-6 Gemini Jack--an alien rental agent at the mall--needs a pair of twins with criminal tendencies. Creepy twins Ned and Nancy end up as the ruthless genetic material Jack's too-nice race needs when they steal and torture the electronic pet given to good twins Tod and Tessa. Cartoonishly broad characterizations and rampant good-guy vindication keep this middle-grade tale unabashedly lighthearted.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
