Two Twins, One Eyeball, No Surrender

Pet has long endured the trickery of its mischievous masters, Edgar and Ellen, but no more! The one-eyed creature has newfound strength, willpower, and a plan that could tear the twins apart. Meanwhile, the Knightleighs have invaded the twins' house, and Edgar and Ellen are worried -- not until Ellen starts acting very oddly. She's tidying the house and taking baths. She's even accepted an invitation to a slumber party hosted by archrival Stephanie Knightleigh! Surely she's got a scheme up her (unusually clean) sleeve. Or has a hairy traitor managed to break up the devious duo for good?

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Gr. 4-6. In this fourth installment of the pseudogothic Edgar & Ellen series, which aims at fans of Lemony Snicket, the demented twins' ramshackle mansion becomes targeted by a city beautification project. When Ellen appears to embrace the prospect of gracious living, Edgar investigates his sib's brainwashing, leading to gleeful havoc and discoveries about their freakish housemate, Pet. The send-up of the snooty culture of interior design may go over many children's heads, but those who take twisted satisfaction in the series' misanthropic humor will want this--especially now that Nicktoons plans to air a series of Edgar & Ellen animated shorts.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Pet's Revenge (Edgar & Ellen) (Hardcover)

I bought it a few weeks ago and just finished it. The story is about two twins named Ellen and Edgar. They have an unknown pet called Pet. In this book, Ellen was acting awkwardly towards Edgar. She was taking a bath, making soups for her twin brother, cleaning their mansion and also accepting an invitation from her enemy, Stephanie. But they soon recover the mystery. It's a great book. Charles Ogden is using easy vocabularies so it was easy for a Malaysian girl to understand. I gave it 5 stars.

My daughter loves all the Edgar and Ellen books by : Charles Ogden.

Very Good Read. She can't put them down and I'm finding myself having to buy her more and more of them until we get the set. This book and all Edgar and Ellen books are wonderful for boys and girls!
