This book was 100% adorable, and if I had found it as a middle-grade reader, I would have loved it. There were aspects of it that were wholly unbelievable, and the portrayal of both Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes was not canon, but I am no purist and didn't care a whit. The basic premise is that Sher...
Always on the look out for things to stock my nieces' bookshelves with and being a fan of Sherlock Holmes, I was very pleased to come across Wealhtheow Wylfing's reviews of this series on my update feed, especially as it's Hailey's birthday this month (May).Enola Holmes is the much younger sister of...
I bought this for the kid a while back. I *certainly* didn't want to read it. One of my least favorite novels of all time was a Holmes knock off. Lucky for me, this year I've been trying to catch up on books that have been languishing unread on my shelves (vs. buying new books to languish).What Spri...

One nitpick: Part of Enola and her mother's success at eluding her famous brother, Sherlock Holmes, is predicated on the fact that he would not be aware of the vagaries of women's clothing, or the unconventional uses to which they could be put. However, we know from the canon that Holmes often disgu...
This was a very quick read, and as such, my review will be quick as well. Overall, I enjoyed this book quite a bit, but there were some things that were a little off-putting for me. Initially, the writing -- using lots of dashes -- and sentence fragments, was a little hard to adjust to, but adjust I...
Oh, very good stuff. lovely descriptive writing and a smart, spunky heroine. I think I would have adored this as a 12 year old. Will most certainly be reading the rest of the series.
