herbaceousriot's review against another edition

Another read with the kid. It's all I get time to read lately. Luckily for me this series is absolutely adorable. Great set of stories with a very strong and extremely impressive female lead. Set in a time with a soft reminder that women were only property. Lightly shines a light on the worth and contributions of women in general in a very fun way. Full of adventure and not so easy to predict. A strong recommendation for any kiddos. Lessons include compassion, understanding, and inclusion paired with the importance of resilience and appreciation.

Once again, Sherlock Holmes' little sister is able to one-up her brother. This time, she must rescue Dr. Watson himself. This book wasn't quite as good as the first two books in the series, but it was engaging nonetheless. I really enjoy the descriptive language of these books, as it causes the reader to actively think and not just read. Anyone who enjoys cracking codes and ciphers will enjoy this book.

This was interesting! I always enjoy reading about Enola's various disguises. I'm having a lot of fun listening to these books.

Aaaaaahhhhh. The mystery was interesting and I enjoyed that it gave Enola the chance to use some new disguises and different skills, but what I loved most about this book was, again, her relationship to Sherlock Holmes.
I think it's fun how much she likes Watson despite not knowing him all that much, and that she struck up a friendship with Mrs Watson (even if none of the two actually know they were dealing with her).
Enola thinking about contacting Sherlock (even if finally she didn't need to) and him and makes me think that the two of them will work together at some point during the series and I can't wait to see it. Seeing them work against each other and together from afar, already fascinates and delights me, and I really want to see them do that face to face. I'm very satisfied that Sherlock comes to respect her more and more.
