Summary

A funny, illustrated middle-grade novel about two smart, resourceful children who foil kidnappers bent on stealing their brilliant father's ideas. This debut novel has a fast-paced plot, clever heroes, evil (albeit buffoonish) villains, and a sly sense of humor, and is filled with puns, word games, puzzles, and even a recipe for meatloaf. Illustrations by internationally acclaimed artist Jeremy Holmes give the book even more kid appeal and make the book a visual stand-out.
