[Books] Death in the Air: The Boy Sherlock Holmes, His Second Case Book Details
Book Editorial Reviews:Death in the Air: The Boy Sherlock Holmes, His Second Case--- From School Library JournalGrade 6–8—This sequel to Eye of the Crow (Tundra, 2007) continues as Sherlock Holmes, 13, tries to prove his worth to Scotland Yard and become "a new sort of London detective, the scourge of every villain." Witnessing the tragic fall of a famous trapeze artist, he utilizes his limited resources, including a new mentor who happens to be a brilliant alchemist, and his own deductive skills to convince others that the fall was no accident. Sherlock pursues the case doggedly, even enlisting the help of a young street boss named Malefactor. The book ends with the young protagonist determined to survive alone, distancing himself from all friends. This is an exciting mystery, well written and fast paced, but reluctant readers may have a hard time adjusting to the language.—Jessica Miller, New Britain Public Library, CT Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
