She is, however, the internationally bestselling author of The Lonely Hearts Club, Prom and Prejudice, Take a Bow, Revenge of the Girl with the Great Personality, Better Off Friends and We Can Work It Out. Elizabeth lives outside Manhattan, where she spends her free time stalking English bulldogs in her neighbourhood and filling her brain attic with random pop-culture facts. The Great Shelby Holmes is her first middle grade novel.

Mystery fans may try to solve the case, but most, like John, will enjoy just hanging out with Shelby to see what happens next
Booklist
A delightful coming-of-age story
- Suzanne Collins, New York Times bestselling author of The Hunger Games on THE LONELY HEARTS CLUB,
Brisk pacing, likable characters, a few silly Holmes jokes ... and a diverse neighborhood, carefully and realistically described by John, are ingredients for success. A smart, fresh take on an old favorite makes for a terrific series kickoff
Kirkus Reviews
In this series opener, Eulberg (<i>We</i> <i>Can Work It</i> <i>Out</i>) creates a lively present-day update of Sherlock Holmes, one with plenty of winks to the source material. Readers will delight in Shelby's ability to read clues in this well-plotted mystery and sympathize with Watson who, along with the rest of the supporting cast, is generally two steps behind Shelby.

Being friends with a super sleuth isn’t easy, especially when she’s nine years old and four feet tall. But for 11-year-old aspiring writer John Watson, being friends with Shelby Holmes is just the adventure he’s looking for.
In the few weeks since moving into Harlem with his mum, Shelby has been training John in the art of observation – a skill that comes in handy on the very first day of school. John’s new teacher, Mr Cobb, is acting suspiciously, and Shelby knows this is a mystery worth investigating. Something important has gone missing, but as Shelby and John dig deeper into the mystery of the Cobb caper, they discover that there may be someone unexpected involved. Could Shelby Holmes have finally met her match?
Girl power comes to Baker Street in a book that’s perfect for fans of Frank Cottrell Boyce and Robin Stevens.
