An Enola Holmes Mystery (2016) by Lorena Blasco appropriate for ages 8-12 years old is a fun and adventurous read. This is a mystery story where Enola Holmes brother Sherlock’s Holmes best friend Watson goes missing. Even thought Sherlock does not want her help Enola using her skills and bravery to help find Watson. I would use this book in our my class because it is a great read that can easily grab the attention of young readers and it would be a great an example for them to use to write their own graphic novel. <inspiring> <emotional><adventurous > <lighthearted >

I really love the continuing significance of flowers throughout this series. I continue to love the art, and the stories are better than the first one. In this story, the plot of her finding clues seemed more convenient than in the past two, but it's juvenile fiction so that's understandable.

Diverged a bit more than the previous installments, but not in any way to detract from the story.

Непоганий заміс. Як і в попередній частині, трішки не вистачає об'ємності, але в цілому ґуд.
Невеличкий мінус за наголошення на міфі про зло корсетів і що це "чоловіки заганяють жінок в корсети".

Maybe the graphic novel was just too fast for my liking and I’ll like the actual book better. The art was lovely though and if I were just reviewing that it would be a perfect 5.

Enola Holmes series:
When I found out the movie was based on a book series, of course I had to read them as soon as possible!
It’s an absolutely delightful series in which Enola Holmes runs away to London in search of her mother, finds her life’s calling as a Scientific Perditorian (finder of lost things/people), criss-crosses the city in a variety of disguises, and always tries to stay one step ahead of Sherlock and Mycroft — which often involves walking right under their noses!
There were, of course, some significant changes made for the movie adaptation: Enola is only 14 in the books, not 16; and Tewkesbury is 12 and definitely not a love interest; a lot of plot points were added to the Missing Marquess storyline for the movie; Enola’s mother plays a much smaller role in the books; and Sherlock’s acceptance of Enola as a skilled detective in her own right is a much more gradual process that spans the whole series.
But the vibes are the same, and so is Enola’s character. I loved the books just as much as I loved the movie and I do hope they continue adapting the series!
