Reviews
Teacher Librarian
“Adapting Holmes stories into comics is very challenging, which makes these books all the more impressive.” —Teacher Librarian
The Horn Book Guide
“These graphic novel–style adaptations of Holmes’s adventures are well suited to middle graders. The dialogue is reminiscent of Conan Doyle’s writing yet easier to follow. The illustrations’ cartoon characters are appealing, but the heavy black lines and dark palette are sometimes intrusive.” —The Horn Book Guide
Booklist
“This story is an inspired choice for a series opener not just because it was the first Holmes short story published (following two novels) but also because it establishes right off the bat something that may surprise readers: a fallible Holmes.” —Booklist
