November BOOK REVIEWS

 

Eye of the Crow by Peacock.  Mystery.    Danger runs high in this story of a desperate quest for justice.  As the clues mount, young Sherlock Holmes sees a murder through the eye of its only witness.  But a fatal mistake and its shocking consequence changes everything and put him squarely on a path to becoming a complex man with a dark past and the world’s greatest detective.  This is the first-ever background story to the most fascinating fictional detective of all time.  Eye of the Crow is the spellbinding introduction to Sahne Peacock’s The Boy Sherlock Holmes series.

 

Love, Stargirl by Spinelli.  Realistic Fiction.  Stargirl has moved and left everything behind:  Arizona, Mica High, enchanted desert places—and Leo.  In this companion novel to Sargirl, Newbery Medalist Jerry Spinelli continues his beloved heroine’s story in a tale of hurt and healing, promise and revelation, sadness and joy.

 

Two-Minute Mysteries Collection by Sobol.  Short Stories.  You spot the clues.  You match wits with the famous detective, Dr. Haledjian.  You solve the crime!  A man stumbles upon a dead body.  Is he an innocent witness or a heartless murderer?  A model goes missing.  Did she leave for a trip or was she kidnapped?  More than two hundred two-minute mysteries are packed into just one book.  Nothing gets past Dr. Haledjian, but can you solve the case first?  Good luck, Watson!
