Excellent!
Really enjoyed this one from start to finish. Love watching Enola grow up and the stories get more complex as she does. Book seems a lot longer than it is.

I grew up on Sherlock Holmes
If you could sum up The Case of the Cryptic Crinoline in three words, what would they be?
Clever, fun, and intellegent
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
It is always satisfying when at the end of a mystery of any ilk the detective sums up 'how it were done' so to speak. The Enola Character is wonderfully like her famous older brother, yet like the Wicked series this is a fun look at things from another perspective. Very believable and with the right 'feel'. She lets you in on 'how it were done' with the same deductive reasoning we associate with Sherlock. Throw in the family drama and it all comes together as a fast and fun read.
Any additional comments?
I have read many of the titles in this series and they are all good. Sort of a Jane Eyre meets murder on the orient express. It avoids the kind of silly kid behavior of characters written for younger audiences that I have sometimes seen. Also it paints a historically accurate picture of the London of the day. Definitely a story written for the teen and tween audience but written with intelligence.

Wonderful Book in an Atypical & Engaging Series
Nancy Springer's Enola Holmes books are not to be missed! Written in the style of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's books, but from the perspective of his young teenage sister, they are very entertaining. They are considered middle-grade books, but our family has 3 generations of women who love them.

Full Disclosure: I'm an adult!
As a woman who raised children to read for pleasure during the Harry Potter craze, I've always tried to read things my kids (and now grandkids) have been interested in. This is a well-written series with excellent flow. The performance is equally excellent!

A more realistic pride and prejudice
I love Jane Austin, but I adore humour and females with guts, glory, and trepidation. Enola has all this and her "cases" are filled with high fashion, injustice, truth as to conditions of the times and more than a little luck. A joy to read, finished it off in a straight read! Get it, got it, GOOD !
