(3) 4-6 Misadventures of Edgar & Allan Poe series. Illustrated by Sam Zuppardi. A set of twin prodigies named for their famous author ancestor are lured into a trap by a nefarious mad scientist who is engaged in a top-secret experiment that involves killing one brother and controlling the telepathic thoughts of the surviving twin. Sardonic humor, coded letters, and secret forewarning messages combine with literary references for a mysterious brainy exploit.
