I wanted to like this more than I did. Perhaps I am still holding a grudge from 8th or 9th grade English when I had to read The Hound of the Baskervilles in what I considered the "low group" instead of The Scarlet Letter. I was not a fan or The Hound and have never read another Sherlock Holmes book. With a young Artie Doyle and his friend Ham trying to solve a mystery I thought I would enjoy it more but it just took too long to really get going. I liked the last 1/3 of the book but I am not sure kids will stick around that long.
