Enola Holmes is back！ As a first time reader， it was easy to pick up where the last book left as there is a prologue detailing the outcomes of those books。I enjoyed that the story was fast-paced and many of the events were funny。 Enola is an unusually strong feminist for the period。 Sherlock give the grumpy energy to Enola’s sunshine personality。There is much of the story dealing the historical mistreatment of women in mental institutions so be aware。Overall， this is a short and exciting book th Enola Holmes is back！ As a first time reader， it was easy to pick up where the last book left as there is a prologue detailing the outcomes of those books。I enjoyed that the story was fast-paced and many of the events were funny。 Enola is an unusually strong feminist for the period。 Sherlock give the grumpy energy to Enola’s sunshine personality。There is much of the story dealing the historical mistreatment of women in mental institutions so be aware。Overall， this is a short and exciting book that will have you laughing。Should you read this book in my opinion？ Yes。 🌟🌟🌟🌟 。。。more

Having always had a love for Sherlock Holmes， I of course had to read about his little sister。 I was not disappointed。 Even though this is a YA I still enjoyed it very much and will be looking for more stories。

It was really lovely to get to read about Enola again， and I enjoyed it！ I don’t know how much else there is to say， but as per usual it was very sweet and just nice！ I am always reminded that it is a children’s series， but that doesn’t make it any less good。It was a very enjoyable book and I was happy to read it！

Enola Holmes and the Black Barouche is the seventh book in the Enola Holmes series and while I do recommend that you read the first six books prior to reading this one the author wrote an introduction to the book summarizing the events of the first six books so you can jump right into this one。 If you are not familiar with the books they are about Enola Holmes who is the younger sister of Sherlock Holmes in this version of the famous detective and like her older brother has a talent for solving Enola Holmes and the Black Barouche is the seventh book in the Enola Holmes series and while I do recommend that you read the first six books prior to reading this one the author wrote an introduction to the book summarizing the events of the first six books so you can jump right into this one。 If you are not familiar with the books they are about Enola Holmes who is the younger sister of Sherlock Holmes in this version of the famous detective and like her older brother has a talent for solving mysteries。 The author also does a good job of depicting life in Victorian England and giving readers insight into the rather sexist and demeaning （by today's standards） way women were treated。One of the interesting things about the author's writing is that Nancy Springer even though she is writing for children does not dumb it down。 She expects the reader to use their brains when reading she will use words that I suspect most children are not familiar with such as lugubrious， erotomania， and dolichocephalic （I had to look up the last one）， trusting that the reader will use context and a dictionary to get the meaning。 If you are looking for a good children's /young adult series then I recommend this series。 。。。more

My 100th book of 2021！Enola， my savior has come to me。 It’s been nearly a year since I started reading her series， and boy did I squeal when I learned there was a 7th book！ The mystery’s flare has definitely stayed consistent—if not better！ Great to see how Sherlock and Enola working together willingly now。 Gaaah， both are very cute here！ ✨ Thank you for all the goodness， Springer！ 🙏✨

I’ve read Enola’s previous adventures when they were first written and watched the Netflix movie with the missing marquess。 This new story is entertaining but deals with a hard topic - mental health in the 19th and early 20th century in England。 It was at times difficult to read about the state of asylums and how women could be falsely admitted when the men in their lives wanted to be rid of them。And with that I have let the mystery of the meaning of the black barouche out of the bag。 But the re I’ve read Enola’s previous adventures when they were first written and watched the Netflix movie with the missing marquess。 This new story is entertaining but deals with a hard topic - mental health in the 19th and early 20th century in England。 It was at times difficult to read about the state of asylums and how women could be falsely admitted when the men in their lives wanted to be rid of them。And with that I have let the mystery of the meaning of the black barouche out of the bag。 But the reader needs to be aware that there are trigger issues in the novel。The prologue and epilogue are told from Sherlock’s point of view。 This adds something to the story that takes it up a level from the younger perspective of a middle grade book。I liked the book and also struggled with the content。 I think that a parent may want to be aware of the contents so they could explain or discuss some of the heavier issues。Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to review this book prior to publication。 。。。more

I am such a fan of Sherlock Holmes and after the Netflix show Enola Holmes I wanted to know more about Enola！ Reading Nancy Springer’s Enola Holmes And The Black Barouche did not disappoint。 Springer does an amazing job of transporting you back to 1880’s London and taking you on a journey through Enola’s point of view。 It is the 7th book in the Enola Holmes series and quite frankly now I want to read books 1-6！ Going in to a series on the seventh book didn’t take away from the story at all。 I di I am such a fan of Sherlock Holmes and after the Netflix show Enola Holmes I wanted to know more about Enola！ Reading Nancy Springer’s Enola Holmes And The Black Barouche did not disappoint。 Springer does an amazing job of transporting you back to 1880’s London and taking you on a journey through Enola’s point of view。 It is the 7th book in the Enola Holmes series and quite frankly now I want to read books 1-6！ Going in to a series on the seventh book didn’t take away from the story at all。 I didn’t feel lost or confused。 It was definitely a quick read that reels you in from beginning to end。 The mystery and intrigue of the story was really fun to uncover。 Enola Holmes is so independent， clever and witty and I dare to say a better detective than Sherlock himself。 I look forward to reading more of Enola Holmes’ adventures！ Thank you to @netgalley @MacMillanUSA and Nancy Springer for allowing me to be part of this book tour！ 。。。more

Author Nancy Springer https://www。nancyspringer。com published the book “Enola Holmes and the Black Barouche” in 2021。 This is the seventh book in her Enola Holmes series。 This book was released today， August 31， 2021。 She has published more than 50 works。I received an ARC of this book through https://www。netgalley。com in return for a fair and honest review。 I categorize this book as ‘G’。 The primary character in the book is teen Enola Holmes。 The much younger sister of the famous Sherlock and My Author Nancy Springer https://www。nancyspringer。com published the book “Enola Holmes and the Black Barouche” in 2021。 This is the seventh book in her Enola Holmes series。 This book was released today， August 31， 2021。 She has published more than 50 works。I received an ARC of this book through https://www。netgalley。com in return for a fair and honest review。 I categorize this book as ‘G’。 The primary character in the book is teen Enola Holmes。 The much younger sister of the famous Sherlock and Mycroft。As young as she is， Enola is a very independent woman and every bit as smart as her older brothers。 She has also inherited her brothers' intelligence and powers of deduction。 A young woman， Letitia Glover， shows up asking for Holme’s help。 Glover received a letter from her brother-in-law that her twin sister had died。 She has been unable to learn anything from the widowed Earl of Dunhench。 Glover wants to know what happened。While Holmes does not seem overly interested， Enola jumps into the investigation。 She is soon undercover in the Earl’s household。 She discovers that the Earl’s first wife also died under unusual circumstances。 Enola is sure that there is something amiss。I enjoyed the 3。5+ hours I spent reading this 259-page period mystery。 The book is short。 The book is more of a novella than a novel。 The book does read much like the original Sherlock Holmes stories。 But this mystery is not too difficult。 Ms。 Springer mostly targets young adults so that can be somewhat expected。 If you have access to Netflix you will find their production of an Enola Holmes mystery movie。 I do like the chosen cover art。 I give this novel a 3。8 （rounded up to a 4） out of 5。You can access more of my book reviews on my Blog （ https://johnpurvis。wordpress。com/blog/）。 。。。more

Enola Holmes was a name I had not heard of before this ARC （both ebook and print） came to my purview。 I sat down and read this book in one sitting， and loved it so much that I got the first six books from my online library and binge read the entire series in less than 24 hours。Our young heroine， now fifteen years of age， is approached by Miss Leticia （Tish） Clover， who is very worried that her twin sister is missing。 Felicity， called Flossie。 Tish received a letter from Flossie's husband。 The le Enola Holmes was a name I had not heard of before this ARC （both ebook and print） came to my purview。 I sat down and read this book in one sitting， and loved it so much that I got the first six books from my online library and binge read the entire series in less than 24 hours。Our young heroine， now fifteen years of age， is approached by Miss Leticia （Tish） Clover， who is very worried that her twin sister is missing。 Felicity， called Flossie。 Tish received a letter from Flossie's husband。 The letter was almost a casual announcement of Flossie's passing and cremation， thus no need for a funeral。 As they are twins， Tish feels she would know if Flossie had truly passed away。About the same time， Enola received a concerning note from Dr。 Watson informing her that Sherlock was experiencing a case of melancholia。 Watson hopes that if she visits with Sherlock that he will snap out of it。 But she is not the only one planning to see Sherlock， Tish wants to talk to him about her missing sister。 In the letter from Flossie's husband was an envelope with supposedly her sister‘s ashes，。 Despite his mood， Sherlock gets up after listening to this dreadful story and examines the ashes under his microscope and quickly determines that they are not human remains。This sparks a bit energy in Sherlock and he cleans himself， shaves himself and dresses in his normal formal manner and is intent on helping Tish find her sister。Enola has definitely come into her own。 Her brother Sherlock might be the world’s greatest detective， but she is the world's first Scientific Perditorian， a person who finds those who are missing。 Or a professional seeker。 Enola soon discovers that Dunhench's first wife died of diphtheria and was also cremated。 However， there is another story， one that says that the first Mrs。 Dunhench was actually sent away in a black barouche， which is a four wheeled hose-drawn carriage。 Which story is true and what does this have to do with Tish's sister's disappearance？What a fabulous series to have read！ Although each book in the series has a prologue to catch the reader up so that they can be read as standalone novels， reading the series in order helps the reader to really get to know Enola and her brothers。 Reading the previous books also helps to make sense how a girl of fifteen could live alone and go wherever she wanted in London during that time。 I love Enola， her wit， her ingenuity， her disguises， her cyphering and her charictatures。 I also watched the Netflix adaptation， with a couple of changes - Enola's age and Tewkesbury as a possible love interest of Enola's。 The second movie is in production。Many thanks to Wednesday Books and to NetGalley for this ARC for review。 This is my honest opinion。 。。。more

Enola Holmes and The Black Barouche by Nancy Springer is a mystery tale that demonstrates Sherlock's younger sister Enola is just as brilliant at mysteries as her brother。 Fifteen year old Enola is very independent。 After all， her name spelled backwards is "alone"。 When Letitia shows up looking for an absent Sherlock to find out what really happened to her deceased twin sister Felicity it is Enola who rushes to get her answers。Enola goes undercover and finding some very curious clues， including Enola Holmes and The Black Barouche by Nancy Springer is a mystery tale that demonstrates Sherlock's younger sister Enola is just as brilliant at mysteries as her brother。 Fifteen year old Enola is very independent。 After all， her name spelled backwards is "alone"。 When Letitia shows up looking for an absent Sherlock to find out what really happened to her deceased twin sister Felicity it is Enola who rushes to get her answers。Enola goes undercover and finding some very curious clues， including a mysterious black barouche that arrives the night before Felicity's death， she uses her wit and some help from Sherlock to find the truth。 This mystery is part of a series of Enola adventures but is a stand alone story。 The author cleverly involves us in the curiosities of the case and regardless of age this is a fun maze for all ages to travel through and not get too lost。 I received a free copy of this book from the publishers via #Netgalley for a fair and honest review。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

This was my first Enola Holmes read but I watched and loved her on Netflix。 I loved this book as well。Enola is visiting Holmes to get him out of a funk when Letitia Glover arrives。 She’s been told her sister is dead， but as her twin she knows she is still alive。 Felicity， her twin， was married to a wealthy man and he reported her dead。 She left in a black barouche。 This is typical Holmes novel but led by a 15 year old independent woman。 Enola is a great character and the story is well-written。 E This was my first Enola Holmes read but I watched and loved her on Netflix。 I loved this book as well。Enola is visiting Holmes to get him out of a funk when Letitia Glover arrives。 She’s been told her sister is dead， but as her twin she knows she is still alive。 Felicity， her twin， was married to a wealthy man and he reported her dead。 She left in a black barouche。 This is typical Holmes novel but led by a 15 year old independent woman。 Enola is a great character and the story is well-written。 Enjoy！ 。。。more

I dove into this book not having seen the Netflix series that introduced the character of Enola Holmes。I'll admit that it took me a little while to get hooked， but ended up enjoying this title。 Like her brother， Enola has an eye for clues and isn't afraid to jump into a messy situation to figure things out。 But at the same time， she seeks to project a certain image to the public。 Unless she's in disguise。 I dove into this book not having seen the Netflix series that introduced the character of Enola Holmes。I'll admit that it took me a little while to get hooked， but ended up enjoying this title。 Like her brother， Enola has an eye for clues and isn't afraid to jump into a messy situation to figure things out。 But at the same time， she seeks to project a certain image to the public。 Unless she's in disguise。 。。。more

Enola Holmes is the seventh story in Nancy Springer's series of Middle Grade mysteries featuring Sherlock's younger sister。 If you haven't read the previous titles in the series， don't worry: a） it can be easily read as a standalone b） we get a prologue from Sherlock with a hilarious recap of Enola's previous adventures。 We also learn from this introduction that fifteen-year-old Enola is a very independent and resourceful young lady。When Dr Watson writes to her and asks her to help with one of S Enola Holmes is the seventh story in Nancy Springer's series of Middle Grade mysteries featuring Sherlock's younger sister。 If you haven't read the previous titles in the series， don't worry: a） it can be easily read as a standalone b） we get a prologue from Sherlock with a hilarious recap of Enola's previous adventures。 We also learn from this introduction that fifteen-year-old Enola is a very independent and resourceful young lady。When Dr Watson writes to her and asks her to help with one of Sherlock's famous bouts of melancholia， she immediately hurries to Baker Street。 While she is there， trying to get any kind of reaction from her depressed brother， a desperate potential client arrives。 Miss Letitia Glover， a young professional woman （a typist） desperately needs Sherlock's detective expertise to help her locate her twin sister Felicity。 Felicity's rich husband， the Earl of Dunhench， sent Tish a note informing her that her sister unexpectedly fell ill and passed away and has been already cremated （a practice most victorians were suspicious of）。 Nevertheless， Tish is convinced that Felicity is still alive。 While Enola is immediately moved by her pleas， Sherlock's interest is only piqued when it turns out that the ashes aren't human。 Enola is a delightful character。 She is smart， determined， witty， and doesn't take herself too seriously。 She's also extremely enterprising and brave。 This is a historical mystery， so all of her adventures are set against the background of the Victorian society。 The book is rich in detail - from changing fashions， food， transportation， homes and institutions to typical attitudes that will seem strange and often unfair to a modern reader。It was great to see how Enola and Sherlock worked on the case， approaching it in similar ways-they both collected information， using various disguises， looked at the evidence， detected forged documents and even set up a trap for the culprit。The writing was very engaging， easy to follow and fun to read。 I would definitely recommend it not just to MG/YA audience， but anyone who likes entertaining mysteries with a strong， independent female lead。Thank you to NetGalley and St。Martin'sPress/Wednesday Books for the ARC provided in exchange for an honest opinion。 。。。more

When I saw the Enola Holmes film on Netflix， I had no idea that it was based on the novels by Nancy Springer–I admit quite shame-facedly。 Thankfully， Wednesday Books enlightened me and offered me the opportunity to read the latest Enola Holmes mystery， Enola Holmes and the Black Barouche， as part of the book tour to celebrate this new release。Letitia Glover visits the home of Sherlock Holmes， but he is indisposed （depressed and actually on the sofa）， when she meets with his younger sister， Enola When I saw the Enola Holmes film on Netflix， I had no idea that it was based on the novels by Nancy Springer–I admit quite shame-facedly。 Thankfully， Wednesday Books enlightened me and offered me the opportunity to read the latest Enola Holmes mystery， Enola Holmes and the Black Barouche， as part of the book tour to celebrate this new release。Letitia Glover visits the home of Sherlock Holmes， but he is indisposed （depressed and actually on the sofa）， when she meets with his younger sister， Enola， instead。 Letitia’s sister， Felicity， has been pronounced dead after getting a fever and her cremation ashes have been sent to Letitia， but Letitia doesn’t believe that her twin is dead。 She knows that she would feel that her twin was dead。 Enola tells her that they will find out what happened to her sister。Enola Holmes and the Black Barouche is a delightfully fun YA mystery in which Enola matches her brilliant brother， Sherlock， idea for idea。 Apart and then together， they don disguises and pretend to be other people in order to acquire the information they need to track down what exactly happened to Felicity Glover。 Despite the fact that Enola is much younger than Sherlock her keen observations match his very well。 And her character is as feisty as she is smart and just a pleasure to read about。Evidently Enola Holmes and the Black Barouche is Book 7 in the series but can be read as a standalone。 I say that， but I did watch the film so that may have filled in a few holes。 Nevertheless， the book was so much fun to read that I am looking forward to reading the previous six books and hope that more are on the way。I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
