[...] Eye of the Crow by Shane Peacock. Ms Bookish says: “I know this is a children’s book, but the fact is, once you start reading, you’ll find yourself drawn into the world of 1860s London – drawn so deeply in you can almost smell the grime and feel the grit.

I didn’t know about this book. I am thinking of going with some people to see the Sherlock Holmes movie on the 27th. I know it won’t be completely true to form, but from what I’ve seen it will be a fun movie.

I have some photos from London of where I toured the Sherlock Holmes museum. I was just telling someone the other day I needed to get those photos up and this is another reason! I will have some time to do that coming up. That will be a fun holiday post, even if it is 2 months tardy. :/

This is definitely a good one if you enjoy Sherlock Holmes, Margot.

I like having a head-start on tomorrow. :)

It probably would, Jeane. I’m actually anxious to do a reread of the short stories to see if Peacock’s imagined back story for Holmes makes a difference in any of the stories!

Hope you enjoy it, Jemi! I’ve put in a hold for the second in the series, and Memory tells me there’s a third coming out – I’m looking forward to reading them.

I hope you get a chance to read this one over the holidays, Molly. I’ve read a few Holmes-related novels for mid-grade and YA, and this is the best one so far.

I am just so glad I came across your review, Memory – I think I probably would have returned it to the library unread, otherwise. And that would have been horrible – I would have missed out on such a great read!

You’re certainly not under-read, Kathy!

If you’re interested, though, it’s easy to get a taste of Sherlock, because there’s a lot of good stuff in the short stories. You just have to read one and then you can say you’ve read Sherlock Holmes :)
