claudia_is_reading's review against another edition
5.0
This? This was a delightful book!
I'm not really fond of stories in which the protagonists are teenagers, but this one win me from the very beginning, mostly because it didn't fall into the usual traps of YA fiction. The characters are fresh, smart and funny. Joanna Watson is the queen of sarcasm and Sherlock Holmes is, of course, very much lost to the niceties of society. *laughs* But they are stuck together as lab partners and Joanna is very much intrigued by this new arrival to her school.
The mystery was fantastically well done, adapted perfectly to both, the modern era and the differences coming from the age of the protagonists.
It's not a traditional story, for sure, but if you aren't a rabid purist, you'll enjoyed it :D
And Debbie Andreen's narration is wonderful.
I just hope the next book in this series will come soon ♥
