I’ve not read any of the original books or seen the Netflix show, but I’ve heard about them and was excited to read this graphic novel。 First off, the artwork is gorgeous。 It has quite a historical, watercolour feel which complements the storyline really well。 The added bits at the end of each “episode”, with little codes and messages along with Ebola’s scribbles and drawings, was really well done。 I thought the storylines for each of the three episodes were engaging, and it was easy to forget t I’ve not read any of the original books or seen the Netflix show, but I’ve heard about them and was excited to read this graphic novel。 First off, the artwork is gorgeous。 It has quite a historical, watercolour feel which complements the storyline really well。 The added bits at the end of each “episode”, with little codes and messages along with Ebola’s scribbles and drawings, was really well done。 I thought the storylines for each of the three episodes were engaging, and it was easy to forget that Enola is only supposed to be a young teenager (but given her brothers, I don’t doubt her ability to find a lodging house in London on her own!)。 This is a charming graphic novel, not just for the intended middle grade audience, but for adults as well。 The overarching mystery of where Enola’s mother is has yet to be solved, and I’ll be looking out for Book 2 to see what happens next。 。。。more

Thank you Netgalley and Andrew McMeel Publising for providing me with this amazing read。This graphic novel adaptation is simply amazing in both storyline and the illustrations artwork quality。 The book will easily become a wonderful tester for younger readers to step toes to mystery literature before they dip to the novel version。

This graphic novel was my introduction to Enola Holmes, Sherlock and Mycroft’s younger sister。 Enola’s birth was a scandal and she’s not planning on conforming to society’s expectations of women anytime soon。 She conducts herself in a fashion most unladylike by refusing to wear the appropriate dress length for her age and, horror of horrors, climbing trees。 Her mother’s disappearance on the occasion of her fourteenth birthday brings Enola’s brothers out of the woodwork。 Visiting Ferndell Hall fo This graphic novel was my introduction to Enola Holmes, Sherlock and Mycroft’s younger sister。 Enola’s birth was a scandal and she’s not planning on conforming to society’s expectations of women anytime soon。 She conducts herself in a fashion most unladylike by refusing to wear the appropriate dress length for her age and, horror of horrors, climbing trees。 Her mother’s disappearance on the occasion of her fourteenth birthday brings Enola’s brothers out of the woodwork。 Visiting Ferndell Hall for the first time in ten years, they quickly determine that the most appropriate course of action is to send Enola to boarding school。This goes against Enola’s sensibilities and those of her currently absent mother, so before she embarks on the very ladylike occupation of learning how to be a “houseplant”, Enola absconds to London。 Smart girl, our Enola。Sherlock and Mycroft are clearly products of their time and probably think they have Enola’s best interests at heart。 However, their brotherly love leaves a lot to be desired。 Leave her be, Mycroft。 She is too young and her head is too small for her body。 We can’t expect too much of her。 Enola is able to use society’s propensity to underestimate women to her advantage, relying on her wits and penchant for disguises to hide in plain sight。 Brother Sherlock may be a famous detective but Enola gives him a run for his money in these adaptations of the first three books of Nancy Springer’s The Enola Holmes Mysteries。 Enola takes it upon herself to solve The Case of the Missing Marquess, The Case of the Left-Handed Lady and The Case of the Bizarre Bouquets。I enjoyed the watercolour illustrations, which felt even more appropriate when I learned that’s the medium Enola’s mother uses。I haven’t met Enola’s mother yet but I love her already。 She’s a suffragist who’s schooled her daughter in activities that will be useful, as opposed to those that will facilitate her transformation into a houseplant。Enola’s adaptability and attention to detail are aided by the tools her mother left her, primarily a book on the language of flowers and a handbound notebook full of coded messages。 Enola is “alone” spelled backwards。Mum and her love of coded messages。Could it be a coincidence? I loved the clever use of flowers to convey messages and the inclusion of excerpts from Enola’s secret notebook at the end of each case。Enola’s inquiring mind and indomitable spirit made me want to spend more time with her。 I look forward to hanging out with Enola as she continues to subvert her allotted position in nineteenth century London in future graphic novel adaptations。 I’ve already ordered the first book in Nancy Springer’s series from the library。Thank you so much to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the opportunity to read this graphic novel。Blog - https://schizanthusnerd。com 。。。more

Fun fun fun! I love Enola Holmes。 While the stories in this book are much abridged (this book includes the first 3 books in the series), they are still very enjoyable。 It was fun as an addition to the Enola Holmes world, but the originals are better。

Despite most of the third story not being in the book [LOTS of blank pages], this was still a highly enjoyable and gorgeously illustrated graphic novel。 Enola Holmes is just as inquisitive and intelligent as her famous brother and even more engaging than he is。 She is not afraid to do what she needs to do to get things done and I think people of all ages will love these stories。 Unfortunately, due to not getting most of the third story [including the ENDING!!], I have no idea how it all ends up Despite most of the third story not being in the book [LOTS of blank pages], this was still a highly enjoyable and gorgeously illustrated graphic novel。 Enola Holmes is just as inquisitive and intelligent as her famous brother and even more engaging than he is。 She is not afraid to do what she needs to do to get things done and I think people of all ages will love these stories。 Unfortunately, due to not getting most of the third story [including the ENDING!!], I have no idea how it all ends up for Enola, but I can guess she lands feet firmly on the ground and her goals all met。 I will be looking into the books that this graphic novel is based on。 Well done。 Thank you to NetGalley, Serena Blasco, and Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Enola is strongwilled, spontaneous and as clever as her brother。 Her exploits were fun to follow and I think younger audiences will enjoy solving cases with her。 Along with great stories, the art in "Enola" is stunning! I believe the artist used markers to achieve their style, but the effect is more like a stylized watercolor。 The story flows well from panel to panel with bright splashes, and I was entertained enough to read all three in one sitting。 The pages at the end of each novel showing Enola's investigation journal were a cute touch。 My younger self would've searched their details for clues to the cases Enola was working。 I think these graphic novels would be a great choice to read with a younger child or for a tween/young teen to read alone。 A great introduction to graphic novels or the tradition of Sherlock Holmes! 。。。more

Really enjoyed Sherlock's (way more) younger sister's pursuit。 Enola was as smart as her brother, solving mysteries as he as well。 The author wrote this as a young adult novel, so it is not as hard to decipher as Sherlock's。 And for those who prefer comics to novels, this one is recommended。 I literally made time to read this wonderful book。 Really enjoyed Sherlock's (way more) younger sister's pursuit。 Enola was as smart as her brother, solving mysteries as he as well。 The author wrote this as a young adult novel, so it is not as hard to decipher as Sherlock's。 And for those who prefer comics to novels, this one is recommended。 I literally made time to read this wonderful book。 。。。more

(This seems to be a trend。 I was amazed at a recent Clifford retelling as well。)It's been a bit tough to get my students to read The Case of the Missing Marquess, and I'm unsure how many of them have seen the Netflix film, but graphic novels are hugely popular in my library。 Even graphic novel reimagings of classics like Anne of Green Gables, The Secret Garden, and Tom's Midnight Garden circulate well, so I'm sure the Netflix tie-in will make this even more appealing。 I personally prefer Springer's wonderful writing and the additional details found in the original books, but perhaps the graphic novels (there's a second volume with three more titles in it) will encourage readers to investigate Enola's adventures in prose。 。。。more
