I've always loved Sherlock Holmes and am always looking for new ways to read Doyle's stories. This was meant for kids, yes, but it was interactive and because of that it appealed to me so much. The illustrations were lovely, the colors were vibrant, and you couldn't help but to be drawn into this mystery and wanting know where it would lead and who the murderer was! This would be great fun for anyone at a middle grade reading level, I think. I would recommend it. 5 out of 5 stars. ( )
