jasminl20 - This book is an extraordinary one! The main character Sherlock becomes 14 years old, but his deduction is still remarkable! I like this book very much. Not only the brilliant content, the plots are also compact. Let the readers can't stop finish this wonderful novel! This story is talking about a little boy named Sherlock Holmes, he was a ordinary child. But he stops a conspiracy and saves lots of people's lives. I consider that the plan of the criminal is very brilliant, he can kill people but he is not at the crime scene. Why? Because he lets his pet,bees, to kill the victim. The criminal and Sherlock battle of wits many times. Finally, Sherlock stops the murder successfully.

Lane (The Bond Files, for adults) doesn't quite hit the mark in this British novel (authorized by the estate of Arthur Conan Doyle) that launches the Sherlock Holmes: The Legend Begins series, about the detective's life as a teenager. Staying with his aunt and uncle while on his school's break, Sherlock has little to entertain or enlighten himself besides his American tutor, Amyus Crowe. When a runaway named Matthew witnesses a bizarre murder and Sherlock discovers another dead body in the woods, the teens seek out the truth. On their adventures, they encounter a mysteriously evil housekeeper, beekeepers, and a ludicrously crippled criminal mastermind. Younger readers will appreciate the constant action and danger, but those already familiar with Holmes may find it hard to reconcile Lane's portrayal of an uncertain if perceptive teenager with the trademark inscrutability of the man he will become. (That said, early references to beekeeping and Sherlock's future drug addiction are nice touches, and Lane clearly did his research.) However, the inanity of the over-the-top villain (and his plan) undercuts the thrill of the adventure. Ages 12–up.
