Summary

Sherlock Bones, the world’s greatest dog detective, and his trusty sidekick Dr Jane Catson are back for another crime-solving adventure。

The second book in Buster’s brand-new Sherlock Bones fiction series features puzzles – including search games, logical conundrums and shadow matches – that are woven into the action, so the reader feels immersed in the exciting detective plot。

Well, buster books has done it again! Another epic childrens mystery book!

Another epic childrens mystery book! Macie was SO excited when the second instalment of the Sherlock bones series landed in our letterbox, and so was I actually as we both REALLY enjoyed the first one! The Sherlock bones series are fun, interactive and also educational! This book was set in Egypt, where an ancient mask goes missing whilst Sherlock Bones and Dr Catson are trapped in a tomb。 Along the way there are puzzles and activities for children to do to help them escape the tomb and solve the mystery of the missing mask。 The pace is just right for keeping little ones interested, and the plot is just the right length to keep them wanting to read more without getting fed up! Macie couldn’t wait to get into bed and read this every night, and even begged for ‘just one more chapter’ every time I told her that was it for that night。 Final word from Macie (aged 7) - It was 5 stars, it was really good and I loved it! 。。。more

I loved this book。 The plot and storyline was amazing and I absolutely enjoyed doing the puzzles that were in each chapter! They were entrancing and captivating although some of them proved to be a bit difficult when you're immersed in the storyline。 I love Cattson and Sherlock Bones and I cannot wait to see where they go next。 I feel like this book relates so well to geography and history lessons for children and can be used alongside these lessons to encourage children to read about it in a di I loved this book。 The plot and storyline was amazing and I absolutely enjoyed doing the puzzles that were in each chapter!

Sherlock Bones and the Curse of the Pharaoh’s Mask is the second book in this series。 This is such a fun and interactive series of books with Bones exciting adventures。The story combines easy to read writing and great illustrations with fun puzzles and games so that you can become a detective to help Bones and Catson solve the mystery。I especially liked the sequence puzzle on page 76/77 as it really made you think。I cannot wait to share this book with my Godson, he really enjoyed the last one。

I loved the first book in the Sherlock Bones series and so I was so happy to go on another journey and adventure with Sherlock Bones and Doctor Catson and this didn't disappoint it was just as enjoyable as the first。 I enjoyed the adventure and the historical aspect of it, I thought the puzzles were slightly trickier and I loved that element too。 The characters were well developed and I felt like we got to know more about old characters as well as learning about new。 An enjoyable read。 I loved the first book in the Sherlock Bones series and so I was so happy to go on another journey and adventure with Sherlock Bones and Doctor Catson and this didn't disappoint it was just as enjoyable as the first。 I enjoyed the adventure and the historical aspect of it, I thought the puzzles were slightly trickier and I loved that element too。 The characters were well developed and I felt like we got to know more about old characters as well as learning about new。 An enjoyable read。 。。。more

Me and my nephew literally couldn’t wait to jump into this one! We love Bones and Catson and we especially like helping them solve the crime mysteries of the world! This time around Bones and Catson have gone off to Egypt for a much deserved break。 Catson meets up with an old friend called ‘Hastings’ who informs them that the place the pair have been looking forward to visiting is cursed and advises them to stay away!

We love Bones and Catson and we especially like helping them solve the crime mysteries of the world! This time around Bones and Catson have gone off to Egypt for a much deserved break。 Catson meets up with an old friend called ‘Hastings’ who informs them that the place the pair have been looking forward to visiting is cursed and advises them to stay away! Crime is never far away where Bones and Catson are concerned and they end up having to investigate a crime whilst on their way to their supposedly cursed destination! We meet a cast of great characters here including ‘Florence’ a rather pompous Hippopotamus and also Teddy the Bison, who fancies himself as a bit of a wheeler dealer。Very soon Catson and Bones arrive at the tomb of king TutanCATmun and this is where the adventure really begins! There are tons of puzzles throughout the book which relate to the story。 My nephew and I made a deal with each other that we must solve each puzzle as they come up, no skipping puzzles or reading ahead! We had so much fun and we both loved the story and illustrations! This is a great activity story where parents can interact with their kids and have some fun! It encourages communication, critical thinking and strategy! Highly recommended! 。。。more
