The first in what I hope will be a series of Enola Holmes mysteries, The Missing Marquess is a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Enola Holmes is the younger sister of Sherlock Holmes and just as clever. If you liked the puzzles and codes in Chasing Vermeer and The Wright 3 you may also enjoy the clues in this book.

Was it by chance that Scholastic Book Club recently offered these books? At any rate, I’ve ordered a copy of The Wright 3 and The Missing Marquess for our library. I look forward to your opinions.

A lovely student of mine has recently been reading books from the series “The Saddle Club.” I offered to look for a list of the books so that she could keep track of which books she has read and which she wants to check out. This is a system which has worked well for others reading “The Boxcar Children” or “The Baby-sitter’s Club” series.

While I didn’t come up with just the list I was looking for, (still working on that), I did find some really fun websites for fans of the books. I have added a categories of links on the right entitled Book Websites. It will be fun to add sites here. Please add your comments here about websites you would like to see included, books you hope have websites and any other thoughts you have about this. I hope you will enjoy this section.
