No Place Like Holmes by Jason Lethcoe

The new resident in 221B Baker Street is about to give Sherlock Holmes a run for his magnifying glass!

When Griffin is sent to stay with his detective uncle at 221B Baker Street for the summer, he is certain that his uncle must be the great Sherlock Holmes! But Griffin is disappointed to discover that Holmes lives at 221A Baker Street and his uncle lives unit 221B. His uncle is a detective, just not a very good one. But when Griffin meets a woman with a case that Holmes has turned away for being too ridiculous, he and his uncle team up to help her. Along the way, Griffin shows his uncle just what it means to have true faith in God, even when the case challenges that. The woman claims that her husband was eaten by the Loch Ness Monster, but monsters aren't real-or are they?

This is a fantastic read for younger readers. The story line is great and it just flows wonderfully. I believe any young reader who is interested in mysteries would not be able to put this book down. I loved everything about it!
The story had a great deal of emotion to the story that I would have never expected. I would definitely recommend this book to any reader - young or old.

I was provided this book for free in exchange for my unbiased review through the Thomas Nelson BookSneeze Program.
