In preparation for our church's upcoming summer reading program, I've been reading a lot of youth/teen books.
Description:
When Griffin is sent to stay with his detective uncle at 221B Baker Street for the summer, he is certain that his uncle must be the great Sherlock Holmes! But Griffin soon learns that Holmes lives at 221A Baker Street and his uncle lives unit 221B. Sure, his uncle is a detective, but he's not very good. That won't stop him from taking a case that Holmes has turned down. Deemed to be ridiculous, a woman claims that her husband was swallowed whole by the Loch Ness Monster. Along the way, Griffin shows his uncle just what it means to have true faith in God, even when the case challenges that.
My Thoughts:
I really liked this mystery for young readers, like ages 9-12. The main character is a boy, but I think girls would like it too. I know it will be a hit with readers for our summer reading program. There is mention of a "sea monster" in the beginning, but it is explained later in the story.
