Artie Conan Doyle and the Vanishing Dragon

LoveReading4Kids Says

In a nutshell: enthralling new mysteries for a young Holmes

Artie Doyle can’t resist the temptation offered by a mysterious invitation to an evening of magic, and, fresh from their adventures solving crimes committed by the creepy Gravediggers Club, he and his best friend Ham are soon caught up in more intrigue and adventure. Young Artie is based on the young Arthur Conan Doyle of course, and the stories are a clever mix of puzzle, conspiracy and history – late Victorian Edinburgh is brought to vivid life. Satisfying adventure stories in their own right, with a good helping of humour to ease and then emphasise the tension, these are also excellent introductions to the works of the great man himself.

Readers fascinated by Holmes will also enjoy Elizabeth Eulberg’s The Great Shelby Holmes series, which is another clever and engaging tribute to the great detective.  ~ Andrea Reece
