Purchase options and add-ons

With its kid-perfect humor and dynamic illustrations, Book 1 of the hilarious Templeton Twins series left young readers clamoring for more. This time, Abigail and John Templeton find themselves at TAPAS (the Thespian Academy of the Performing Arts and Sciences) where their father, the illustrious Professor Templeton, has been hired to invent a groundbreaking theatrical device. Once again, there is drama (of course!), silliness, and suspense, as the twins (and their ridiculous dog) must thwart the dastardly Dean brothers in order to save the invention as well as their father (and the dog). Oh yes, there is sure to be another recipe. This time for guacamole. Or is it coleslaw?

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 5-7–In this sequel to The Templeton Twins Have an Idea (Chronicle, 2012), Abigail and John are knee deep in adventures surrounding the theft of their dog, Cassie, and the return of the Dean brothers. This time the siblings' inventor/professor father has been hired by the Thespian Academy of Performing Arts and Sciences (TAPAS) to create a new lighting device. Once again, the Deans are out to sabotage him and steal Cassie, dubbed “the ridiculous dog,” as a diversion. However, the protagonists use their quick wit and brains to save the day, the dog, and the lighting device. The plot is conveyed and commented upon by the narrator in a snarky, sarcastic, and humorous manner. Throughout the story, a few new zany characters are introduced as well as some of the favorites readers will remember from the earlier book. Make a Scene is as irresistible and hilarious as its predecessor. Holmes's artwork throughout is both unique and intricate, adding to the story and its characters. The text, format, and multiple-choice questions at the end of each chapter have all been cleverly chosen to add to the mood and pacing of the plot. This humorous story is sure to entertain reluctant and avid readers alilke.–Megan McGinnis, Sachem Public Library, Holbrook, NYα(c) Copyright 2013.

From Booklist

The uncommonly intrusive narrator of The Templeton Twins Have an Idea (2012) claims that this sequel is not the same story—but the resemblance is closer than close. Once again Professor Templeton creates a magnificent invention (there a one-person helicopter, here an oversize magnifying lens for close-ups of live theater productions); once again nefarious twins Dean D. and Dan D. Dean connive to steal credit for it; and once again the professor’s teenage twin children Abigail and John cleverly thwart (“This is an excellent word, and you should make use of it in your daily life, as I do”) their schemes. The episode is quite properly dedicated to Lemony Snicket, and carefully crafted to appeal to that august personage’s fans. Includes a coleslaw recipe and many footnotes. Grades 4-6. --John Peters

I loved it

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2014

When I read the first few words of The Templeton Twins Make a Scene: Book 2, I knew it would be good. I love the introduction about the notes of apology which were hilarious. I also like how the author is self centered and talks about himself after the chapters. I think this book is good for anyone who is having a bad day and needs some cheering up. It'll make you laugh out loud and you'll be sad once it's over. The author makes sure you love it, not hate it even by not letting you answer the 'for further study questions' with a bad answer. For example, the answers you can pick for "The Narrator continues to do: a. an excellent job b. a superb job, c. a magnificent job, and d. just a really great, great job." are all positive. The story itself makes you laugh and laugh as long as you're reading it. I recommend this and you will never regret it.

A Book Filled With Laughter

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2013

Verified Purchase

The Templeton Twins Make a Scene is the sequel to The Templeton Twins Have an Idea, and brings just as much humor to the story as before. The main characters, John and Abigail Templeton, are very clever, and their personalities contrast perfectly. Abigail is very good with words, while John is very skilled at hands-on tasks. The main villains, Dean and Dan D. Dean, are both humorous and evil. All of the characters are very detailed, especially for such a short book. Along the way, the Narrator adds his own commentary, which is made purely for laughs. While some people may be turned off by the Narrator, I enjoyed his parts and I think it adds to the story.
*NOTE* If you haven't read the first book, pick it up before you read this one. It gives important background knowledge that will be helpful while reading.

Both of my children love this book! Super funny & cute illustrations. My kids actually read me passages out of this book they found funny. They loved how the author would interrupt the story with his own sidebars.
