As is typical, coded messages play a central role. Toward the end, there’s a coded message that isn’t decrypted for the reader immediately. Enola as the narrator asks the reader to wait until she reveals the message, even though certainly we could figure out the coded message. I wonder how many young readers who hadn’t before bothered to play with the encryptions took the time to figure that one out? It’s a fun way to draw the reader in a little deeper. Language In our villain we have an example of sibling love that goes beyond murder, but is also tainted with the inability to forgive. Mental Illness As with the other Enola Holmes books, although this is considered "Middle Grade" I caution younger audiences that this contains references to some more mature content . Particularly disturbing is a case of disfigurement in this book, as well as lunacy. Una cosa que me está pareciendo curiosa es que lo de la madre está ya en un completo segundo plano. Enola está aprendiendo a seguir su propio camino y, a pesar de tener solo 14 años, ya es totalmente independiente. Las menciones a su madre son cada vez más reducidas y creo que ya Enola se está conformando con saber que está bien gracias a los mini mensajes que le hace llegar. Por un lado, lo veo bien porque supongo que lo de la madre se resolverá en la última novela y no tiene sentido que eso eclipse a los casos que Enola investiga en cada libro, pero por otro lado, me gustaría que se dieran más pistas sobre las razones de su madre para esfumarse de un momento a otro. Aquí apenas hay dos o tres menciones a la madre y es de forma casi anecdótica. This title is only available as an ebook or audiobook. [7] Enola Holmes and the Elegant Escapade (2022) [ edit ]

I enjoyed this little adventure and you will too if you enjoy learning new things about everyday flowers and accompanying a young detective trying to find lost treasures. ThinkerViews Rating: Dr. Watson is the main focus, and that is as it should be. (although, since he’s missing, and the book is from Enola’s perspective, we don’t really see him a lot) Enola shows herself to be an intelligent, rational, resourceful, and brave protagonist. Readers will look forward to hearing this heroine’s unique voice again.” — Publishers Weekly, starred review Tra intrighi e segreti, Enola Holmes si ritrova ancora una volta ad essere un ragazza che dona una rivalsa per le donne in un'epoca dove la loro più grande ambizione poteva essere solo quella di partorire una squadra di calcio. Our villain is disfigured, because when she was a baby, a rat ate off her nose and lips. Life has made her rather unhinged, and her sister’s husband had her committed. When her sister felt guilty and came to get her out, our villain murdered the husband. Dr. Watson signed the papers to have her committed, so in vengeance, she has Dr. Watson committed under the dead husband’s name. Cross-dressingIt is difficult to choose a new name for oneself. Even more difficult, than choosing a name for a child, for one is confusingly intimate with oneself, whereas one is barely acquainted with a baby upon its arrival. Once again, an interesting adventure involving Enola. With these books, it's really "Keep it simple". So by that I mean that nothing was written here to stretch, but everything has to do with the case and the time around it. tl;dr: The ‘Enola Holmes’ books are an engaging, entertaining and empowering take on the Holmes mythos which will be a hit with girls in their tweens.

A heartily satisfying string of entertaining near-catastrophes, replete with narrow squeaks and spectral howls. Es fácil pasar las páginas sin apenas darte cuenta. Enola es un personaje entrañable al que da gusto acompañar e, increíblemente, nunca disminuyen mis ganas de saber más sobre ella. Like the previous books, author Nancy Spring continues to give us rhyming titles in the fashion more suited to the Victorian era adventures. It is also a clue that the book prominently features flowers, and the language of flowers that we have seen Enola and her mother using for communication through the previous stories. There is also the fact that the language of flowers was predominantly considered a female domain. Enola mentions at one point in book how almost every other woman in England could have been counted a botanist. So, it also fits in the female-oriented narrative that Enola Holmes series has been featuring as the author shows us the daily injustices of Victorian times. Auch hier wurden wieder recht erwachsene Themen untergebracht mit Referenzen zu den Impfgegnern des 19. Jahrhunderts und der Versorgung psychisch kranker Leute zu dieser Zeit. Ich kann diese Buchreihe also nur empfehlen. New readers and myself will get a chance to explore this mystery further on the big screen. Sometime later this year, Stranger Things’ Millie Bobby Brown will star as Enola Holmes. Could this feature film reveal the truth about Enola? Is she really a Holmes? Well, if you’re not willing to wait, there’s another way to get your answer!a b Bhattacharya, Suryasarathi (2020-09-23). "Enola Holmes author Nancy Springer on her popular mystery series and the Netflix adaptation". Firstpost . Retrieved 2020-09-27. Ah, pero este... me lo he bebido en un par de días. La trama de la desaparición de Watson me ha gustado un montón. Todas las pesquisas que lleva a cabo Enola,me parece una prota muy interesante, y sus tejemanejes para que sus hermanos no la descubran... También me ha gustado cómo avanza mínimamente esta relación al final del libro. Aunque sea un pasito pequeño, es un pasito. Igual que el pasito que da Enola en su mentalidad con respecto a la desaparición de su madre, que aquí en los libros aún no se ha resuelto.

Springer, Nancy (22 June 2015). "Nancy Springer Interview" (Interview). Interviewed by Dag R . Retrieved 8 October 2020. Enola rents a room across from the shop so she can watch the women. She overhears that Flora was disfigured very young. When Pertelote failed to babysit her effectively, Flora’s face was eaten off by rats. Enola learns Dr. Watson signed off on Flora’s admission to the insane asylum. The sisters almost catch Enola spying on them. She flees and hurts herself in the process. Definitiv ein toller Comic für Enola-Fans, für feinfühlige Kinder aber mit Vorsicht und am besten unter elterlicher Aufsicht zu genießen.

More like 3.5 STARS; though I did enjoy it, I think the stellar audiobook narration enhanced it and I might have been a bit bored at times were I simply reading this.) Afferrate la vostra lente d'ingrandimento e tuffatevi con me in questa nuova avventura ricca di pericoli e mistero, signori: stiamo per essere coinvolti ancora una volta nei guai della famiglia più in gamba e problematica d'Inghilterra: gli Holmes.
