I thought I had read this book before when I was a media specialist at Pioneer Ridge. I remember recommending this series to girls who liked mysteries. But I haven't blogged it before . . .
I loved loved loved the movie on Netflix! It's this story with a few twists and turns not in this book. I love the idea of Sherlock and Mycroft having a much younger, wilder sister. I will get more of the audiobooks in this series and see how young Enola makes her way in the world.
I will also hope that Netflix makes a second movie . . . I liked it that much.
Recorded books description:
"What a 14th-birthday surprise for Enola Holmes! Her elderly mom is nowhere to be found. Not even her estranged brothers Mycroft and Sherlock can find any useful clues. But the precocious teen can. Using the birthday gifts Lady Holmes left behind, Enola uncovers cleverly stashed money and cryptic clues that send her racing across the wild heaths toward 1888 London. As she searches for her mother, Enola becomes distracted by the strange disappearance of a young Marquess and quickly finds herself in the foul clutches of his captors. But how can Enola escape these slimy ruffians, avoid clever pursuers, and find her missing mother? Two-time Edgar Award–winning author Nancy Springer introduces the sleuthing powers of Sherlock Holmes' sister in the captivating mystery Booklist and School Library Journal praise with starred reviews. Aspiring detectives, young and old, will warmly welcome this sparkling gem."
