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'
This is a highly appealing story with gentle wit that will appeal to KS2. Bigwood's delightful line drawings illustrate the plot without distracting from reading. A highly recommended addition for small group reading as well as for more independent individuals.
