Edgar and Allan Poe are the great-great-great-great grandchildren of Edgar Allan. When their black cat is kidnapped, they convince their guardians to go find the cat. If nothing else after reading this book, your kids may start wanting to know more about the REAL Poe.

For future young fans of Edgar Allen Poe, this is a good springboard to introduce them in a wry way. Funny and fast paced.

This is the sort of solid books that kids like. It may never be declared a perennial classic, but it's the sort of book that kids will remember for years and spend time looking for a copy for their own kids when they have them.
