''Edgar & Ellen'' created by Simon and Schuster Children's Publishing, is based on two twelve-year-old twins who cause mischief and mayhem in their sickly sweet town, Nod's Limbs. The series currently contains nine books in addition to some side material. The Twin's name's are derived from American author and poet Edgar Allan Poe. ''Rare Beasts'' is the first, followed by ''Tourist Trap'', ''Under Town'', ''Pet's Revenge'', ''High Wire'' and ''Nod's Limbs'', with a sequel series premiering just a year later, currently consisting of ''Hot Air'', ''Frost Bites'' and ''Split Ends''. The ''Mischief Manual'', a book written in the voice of the twins themselves, hit the shelves in June 2007. A weekly TV series premiered October 7, 2007 on Nicktoons. Edgar and Ellen live in a 13-story mansion on the edge of Nod's Limbs. Ellen is supposedly the older of the twins by 2 minutes and 13 seconds. They live with a hairy creature who they refer to as Pet — a hairball with an eyeball. Their groundskeeper and caretaker, Heimertz, lives in a small shack just outside the house. Their mansion is located near a now disassembled junkyard, which the twins had lovingly dubbed their "Gadget Graveyard". They take parts from it and create marvelous contraptions for trouble. Both of the twins wear striped footie pajamas and prank each other all day long—when they're not pranking the goody-goody townspeople of Nod's Limbs. They are clever, fearless, mischievous and creative. So creative, in fact, that their pranks often backfire hilariously. ==Books== *''Rare Beasts'' (2003) ISBN 1-58246-110-4 *''Tourist Trap'' (2004) ISBN 1-58246-111-2 *''Under Town'' (2004) ISBN 1-58246-126-0 *''Pet's Revenge'' (2006) ISBN 1-4169-1408-0 *''High Wire'' (2006) ISBN 1-4169-1500-1 *''Nod's Limbs'' (2007) ISBN 1-4169-1501-X *''Mischief Manual'' (2007) ISBN 1-4169-3935-0 *''Hair 'Em Scare 'Em: A Pop-Up Misadventure'' (2007) *''Hot Air'' (2008) ISBN 1-4169-3935-0 *''Frost Bites'' (2008) ISBN 978-1-4169-5464-4 *''Split Ends'' (2009) *''Graphic Novelty: A Comic Collection'' (2009) Books are published by Simon and Schuster in the United States, Canada, and the UK.
