The Journals of Thaddeaus Shockpocket - Albion 77 by Henry Walton

Turn-of-the-Century English inventor and explorer Thaddeaus Shockpocket is having another bad day. It seems like only yesterday his ten-year-old son, Sherlock, was carried off into the jungle by local natives after Thaddeaus accidentally presented the boy as a gift to the village chief. He stands helplessly watching as his wife, Katherine, disappears into the sky in the family airship, ALBION 77, after he accidentally pumped too much helium into the balloon. Another Shockpocket has been lost in the pursuit of science, and one thought bursts into Thaddeaus’ head pushing out all others as he watches the pinpoint balloon vanish into the distance. “It’s four o’clock. I hope Tweak has put the kettle on. I need a nice cup of tea.” And then a second thought: “We really need to go and find Sherlock.” And then a third: “I hope Katherine lands soon. And somewhere nice. What an adventure she will have. If only she doesn’t crash first.” Yes, it’s another day in the Shockpocket family. But this day leads to unexpected discovery and adventure as Thaddeaus and his twelve-year-old daughter Tweak wait for word from Katherine, invent several new devices to change the world, and search for Sherlock in the deepest, darkest corners of Brazil.

The Templeton Twins Have an Idea by Ellis Weiner

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 sometimes 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, I said kidnapped. Wouldn't it be fun to read about that? Oh please. It would so. Luckily for you, 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?!).
