Professor Zwick soll seine geniale Erfindung – den Huckepack-Einmann-Hubschrauber – geklaut haben. Als er sich weigert, die Pläne für das Fluggerät herauszurücken, werden die Zwillinge Arno und Adele gekidnappt. Doch da ist der Entführer an die Falschen geraten, denn der praktisch veranlagte Arno und die um drei Ecken denkende Adele sind nicht auf den Kopf gefallen. Es gelingt ihnen nicht nur, sich zu befreien, sie verhindern auch, dass die spektakulärste Erfindung ihres Vaters in die falschen Hände gerät. Ein rasantes und turbulentes Abenteuer voller Sprachwitz.

A quick-reference guide to attracting birds and butterflies for gardeners with little experience and time.

Suppose there were 12-year-old twins, a boy and girl named John and Abigail Templeton. Let's say John was pragmatic and played the drums, and Abigail was theoretical and solved cryptic crosswords. Now suppose their father was a brilliant, if sometime confused, inventor. And suppose that another set of twins—adults—named Dean D. Dean and Dan D. Dean, kidnapped the Templeton twins and their ridiculous dog in order to get their father to turn over one of his genius (sort of) inventions. Yes, kidnapped. Wouldn't it be fun to read about that? Oh please. It would so. Now in paperback, this is just the first in a series perfect for boys and girls who are smart, clever, and funny (just like the twins), and enjoy reading adventurous stories (who doesn't?!). And now, there's more!
