INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Peacock, Shane

Eye of the Crow

(3) 4-6 Boy Sherlock Holmes series. Sherlock Holmes is here imagined as a hyper-intelligent, lonely thirteen-year-old outcast, the son of a Jewish scientist father and a blue-blood mother whose family disowned her. Holmes tackles his first case: the stabbing of a beautiful woman in a seedy London alleyway. Peacock effectively evokes Conan Doyle's London, and his young Sherlock is a compelling and poignant character.
