 This was lovely ♥

Imogene is an enchanting character, very smart and yet a perfectly 10-years-old girl, who is not very happy with her governess and, after meeting Sherlock Holmes, is ready to become a detective :D

The story is really good; not because it is a great mystery, as the culprit can be spotted from the beginning, but for the chance of seeing Holmes nurturing a young mind. He is never harsh or discouraging, he leads her with gentle comments and words.

This is the perfect book to initiate your kids in the world of Sherlock Holmes :D
