"I've been meaning to read this for so long, and when I finally got around to it, I wasn't disappointed. I came to appreciate Enola more and more as the story went on. Her brothers' appearance is just right; they too-quickly dismiss her as a child and female, just as their original fictional characters would likely have done! It's perfectly irritating. When the action gets going, the few weaknesses in the writing are more dramatic - hasty plot development & random coincidence strain credulity, and shockingly undiscovered abilities appear spontaneously as needed. Nevertheless, I can easily imagine many 8- to 12-year-old girls who would be thrilled to read this. Readalike to the Lady Grace Cavendish series (Assassin by Patricia Finney is #1)."

    " Our library finally got this book, and I read it yesterday. I enjoyed it just as much as the others. It's clean, it's a good mystery, it's educational, and the writing style is a lot of fun. I like these books by Nancy Springer. "

    " Another great possibility for my page turners book club. This one introduces the spunky much younger sister of Sherlock Holmes. She sets out on her own quest to find her missing mother, ends up finding another missing person and becomes a missing person herself! I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I am curious how my young patrons will like it. I will recommend it to those who like mysteries and those who like historical fiction as it has lots of references to customs and clothing of the British 19th century. I am looking forward to reading more in this series and will likely use one of these titles for our spring book club selections. "

    " A kids' mystery series featuring Sherlock Holmes little sister. It had a good dramatic mystery and interesting characters. The heroine has excellent reasons for being a girl ahead of her time. An ongoing mystery about her mother's disappearance draws the reader nicely to the next book. "

    " From looking at the cover, I thought this book would be very different. The book is more serious then I was expecting and the protagonist is much older. Once I got over my assumptions, I liked the book and the reader, for the audio, was fantastic. "

    " I must have enjoyed it somewhat...unless I didn't. I read it in Februsary and honest to buttons, can't remember a thing. No goooood. Even after reading the summary, I remember bits, but really, didn't stick. Must not have been overly impressed, though, who knows. Old age is a kicker. "

    " Cute, short mystery story. Aimed at younger children, but still enjoyable for older mystery fans. Set in Victorian London and feature the infamous Sherlock Homles as one of Enola's ("Alone" spelled bakcwards) two older brothers. "

    " For those of us who have been in love with Sherlock forever, here is a chance to vicariously be his indomitable little sister. Brava for the whole series - I only wish Ms. Springer would bring Enola back from her own Victoria Falls. "

    " it was really boring i read it as a book club. It would have been more interesting if she actually did find her mother and find the reason why she left. Or if The girl would have fallen in love or something But No it was boring :( "

    " Although the protaganist is 12, I don't think this book will appeal to girls that age, especially with the juvenile cover. The heroine is the sister of Sherlock Holmes, and she does her own bit of detective work in the story. "

    " Enola Holmes is the younger sister of Sherlock Holmes. Set in Victorian England, this tale incorporates women's fight for equality as well as mystery, the misery of London slums, blood-thirsty villians and ciphers. A lot of fun as well as educational. "

    " I loved this book and frankly the whole series. It is a very innovative retelling of the Sherlock Holmes oeuvre using the idea that Sherlock has a younger and just as smart sister. Hold on as these slim volumes open up Victorian England and a powerful feminist heroine. "
