The Great Shelby Holmes by Elizabeth Eulberg
3.0
adventurous funny medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

A solid mystery story, with a likable and autistic-coded Holmes. I like those things! The vocabulary is a bit of a reach for most kids, so we'll see how it hits with my almost eight year old, but I think she'll enjoy the plot if the vocab doesn't trip her up too much.
