Book Review: Sherlock and the Baker Street Curse!

We're fast approaching the time for some of our wonderful shortlisted authors to visit our champion schools! Are you excited? We certainly are!

Today we've got another lovely book review to share with you all, written by another one of our fab team, Neil! Here's a secret for you all: Neil loved this book so much that he dressed up as the main character for World Book Day this year!

So, without further ado, let's hear what Neil thought of 'Sherlock and the Baker Street Curse' by Sam Hearn!

 
Sherlock and the Baker Street Curse – Review

The second book in Sam Hearn’s Baker Street Academy series brings the welcome return of schoolboy detective Sherlock and his super smart friends, John Watson and Martha Hudson, as well as arch nemesis, James Moriarty. This wildly inventive story follows Sherlock’s attempts to solve the mystery of a centuries old curse, and a scary ghost who has been haunting the Academy.
The book is easy to read, with lots of action, and comic book style illustrations which help to bring the story and the characters to life.
I had great fun trying to crack the case before Sherlock did, and would recommend this book to anyone who likes puzzles, riddles, and being the smartest kid in the class!
