There is also a junkyard near the house where the twins get parts for the many unlikely contraptions that they build. Nod's Limbs itself is an overly cheerful town run by the inept Mayor Knightleigh. His daughter, Stephanie Knightleigh, is Edgar and Ellen's main rival in their quest for amusement. The books and the animated series start with similar setups, but soon diverge. While the book series moves into an overarching plot, the animated series focuses on day-to-day hijinks. The books so far are: 1. * Rare Beasts (2003) 2. * Tourist Trap (2004) 3. * Under Town (2004) 4. * Pet's Revenge (2006) 5. * High Wire (2006) 6. * Nod's Limbs (2007) 7. * Hot Air (2008) 8. * Frost Bites (2008) 9. * Split Ends (2009) Additional material includes: Mischief Manual, Hair 'Em Scare 'Em (a pop-up book), and Graphic Novelty (a comic collection).
