A good romp of a mystery
*The School Librarian on 'Sherlock Bones and the Case of the Crown
Jewels'*
A very interesting concept, slightly reminiscent of the 'Choose
your own Adventure' books. This will appeal to key stage 2 readers,
especially those who may have reading difficulties and encourages
collaboration among readers, with one reading the story and the
other solving the puzzles.
*The School Librarian on ‘Sherlock Bones and the Curse of the
Pharaoh’s Mask’*
Great mystery story as Sherlock Bones and his partner Catson try to
solve the worrying haunting of a castle. This is so reminiscent in
style of actual Sherlock Holmes but with the added fun of the
characters being mostly dogs. Sherlock Bones and Catson make a
great pairing and what was great about this was every chapter has
its own puzzles and mysteries for the reader to solve.

This was such a fun read… I love interactive books. A fun cosy read
- ideal for the little detectives during spooky season!

I am a huge fan of the series and have every book of the series in
my collection already. I also bought multiple copies of the series
to be given to my students as gifts. It is a very well written
story with cute illustrations and engaging puzzles.

Sherlock Bones and Dr. Carson are hired to investigate a ghost at a
kennel (aka castle) in Transylvania. This one was so fun! It was
the first of these I’ve read, but I definitely want to go back and
read the other ones! I loved the characters and the story was fun
and captivating.
