A review by sarrie
The Great Shelby Holmes by Elizabeth Eulberg
4.0
3.75 *s
This was a great middle grade adaptation of the Sherlock Holmes structure. There isn't a whole lot you can say about a kids book but there were a lot of good things about this. I liked the diversity of the story, the setting, and how well the structure was adapted down to Sherlock/Shelby's addiction (in this one sugar).
The little sneers and references to the actual Sherlock stories were very funny as well.
