Series: An Enola Holmes Mystery

Number in series: 3rd

My rating on a 1-10 scale: 9

Type: Fiction

Number of pages: 170

Time period: 1800’s

My overall opinion: I am so much enjoying this series! Nancy Springer I must say that I consider quite brilliant to come up with a little sister for Sherlock Holmes, who solves mysteries in some truly innovative ways! Enola is a delightful heroine, and I am really liking Sherlock himself… J Some of the premise of the series is that Enola has run away from home and is hiding out in London, trying not to be found by her brothers Mycroft and Sherlock. She comes up with dozens of disguises, does her best not to run into her brothers, and also finds missing persons – in this book, she’s looking for Dr. Watson…yup, Sherlock’s sidekick. Really fun! Highly recommend this series.

The Case of the Missing Marquess

Author: Nancy Springer

Genre: Mystery, adventure

Series: An Enola Holmes Mystery

Number in series: 1st

My rating on a 1-10 scale: 8.5

Type: Fiction

Number of pages: 215

Time period: 1800’s (late)

My overall opinion: It was good! Better, I confess, than I had expected. This series is written for grade-school kids, and I wasn’t a real fan of the covers, so. However, it was fun! Enola Holmes is a sister of THE Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes. She solves mysteries in a somewhat similar manner. It was exciting and clean of teen romance, language, or anything else objectionable. A relief, that was. J I recommend this one, and once I read the others, probably them too!
