Max and Lottie Lion aren’t just normal twins. Lottie is a wonderful actress and Max’s April Fool’s jokes are unsurpassed. Unfortunately, their mother is less than thrilled with their skills. She is phobic about grubbiness and scary diseases, and despises, loathes and abhors their jokes. She would prefer to auction her children off on e-Bay. According to Max and Lottie, things aren’t as bad as they seem. Their jokes are ingenious but harmless. Until, one day, something goes horribly wrong…
In The Terrible Twins and the Motorcycle Gang, Max and Lottie still are as mischievous as ever. The twins’ father works in a factory for hair growth products. One day, an angry motorcycle gang is at the doorstep of the family house. Their leader used the hair growth products and something terrible happened afterwards. Max and Lottie seem to know all about it – after all, it is their fault and they are the only ones who can really solve it…
