A review by ljrinaldi
Sherlock Sam and the Missing Heirloom in Katong by Adan Jimenez, Drewscape, A.J. Low, Felicia Low-Jimenez

3.0

This is a cute, early-chapter book about a 10-year-old boy who loves Batman and Sherlock Holmes, and who lives in Singapore. That last fact is only important in know that there will be a lot of local color thrown in, from local dishes, to local slang, all of which is explained in the glossary. But, other than that, this is a typical boy, other than the fact that he is a genius who invents a robot helper named Watson. He jokes about farts. He reads Batman and graphic novels, such as Logicomix, and loves sweets of all kinds.

This is on the border of a 3.5 stars, but although I liked it, and it was cute, I loved Friday Barnes more, which is about a girl detective solving mysteries.

Thanks to NetGalley for making this book available for an honest review.
