Praise for Becoming Holmes

Praise for EYE OF THE CROW
"...the first intriguing volume in an ambitious new series....a shadowy, vividly described London....Creative references to Doyle's characters abound...and Sherlock himself is cleverly interpreted....plenty of readers will like the smart, young detective they find here, and find themselves irresistibly drawn into his thrilling adventures."
-- Booklist, Starred review and named one of the Top Ten Crime Fiction for Youth

"The details of the plot are plausible, the pacing well timed, and the historical setting vividly depicted...The titular crow comes fascinatingly into play...On balance, the characters enrich the book and help give Holmes's storied abilities credence."
-- School Library Journal, Starred review
PRAISE FOR DEATH IN THE AIR: THE BOY SHERLOCK HOLMES, HIS SECOND CASE:
"This is an exciting mystery, well written and fast paced...."
-- School Library Journal

"The fast-paced adventure is a treat."
-- The Globe and Mail
