As a fan of Holmes, I was curious to see how the author adapted the book for children. I first time I read The Hound of Baskervilles was in my eighth class. It was my special English textbook. I fell in love with the plot and began reading other cases of Holmes.
The adaptation is a summarized version of the original, and it managed to retain the crucial elements in terms of clues and crime-solving techniques. However, the atmosphere and setting took a hit.
That said, this book would be a great choice to introduce Holmes to the younger kiddos and get them interested in the series. The illustrations were sharp, though some of them made me chuckle. Guess that would be perfect for kids.
Overall, a good adaptation in simple and easy language that kids can read for themselves.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and Sweet Cherry Publishing and am voluntarily leaving a review.
