Reviews
Grade 4-6–This plot-driven story begins with immediate action that never lets up. Archie Wiggins is kicked out of The Baker Street Irregulars, kids who are paid eyes and ears for Sherlock Holmes, because of his culpability in the death of his friend Tim Doolan. The gang is taken over by someone working for London's criminal element. Archie ultimately makes three friends and forms the Raven League in order to help the presumably kidnapped Holmes. Together, they attempt to track the villains while trying to convince Dr. Watson that Holmes is indeed missing. A plot to assassinate Queen Victoria on Jubilee Day is uncovered. Through teamwork, faith, and courage, the children are able to save the day with the now-freed Holmes's help. The characters are fairly well developed; Victorian East End London is vividly conveyed with all of its sooty, dangerous, poverty-stricken reality; and the flavor of Arthur Conan Doyle's mysteries is successfully captured. This story will quickly grab readers' attention.–B. Allison Gray, John Jermain Library, Sag Harbor, NY
