Enola Holmes by Nancy Springer in Order

On what should have been a joyous occasion, Enola's life was turned upside down on her fourteenth birthday when her beloved mother disappeared. When Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes - who are Enola's much older brothers - deduced that their mother had chosen to leave of her own will, the young girl felt completely crushed. After unraveling intricate codes written by her mom in advance, she realized it was an intentional move so that she could live with the Romani tribe away from society’s constraints. Money left for just this purpose facilitated the escape.

Defying impositions made by elder brother Mycroft to send Enola away to boarding school in order to achieve proper ladylike behavior, our hero flees and begins a journey through London instead: solving missing person cases (including saving Dr. Watson) while evading capture from both family members and villains alike! 

Enola Holmes is brave and clever and always gets to the bottom of things. Join her as she weaves her way through life using her wits and logic. Spanish versions are also available for most books in the series.

What is the recommended reading level of Enola Holmes? The publisher says 8 to 12-year-olds, but we think it might be a little higher due to some of the content discussed, like a murdered prostitute. Age isn't as important as maturity level. Even adults will enjoy this series.
