(4) 4-6 Graphic Universe: On the Case with Holmes and Watson series. Adapted by Murray Shaw. Illustrated by Sophie Rohrbach & JT Morrow. Also adapted by M. J. Cosson. These graphic novel–style adaptations of Holmes's adventures may appeal to middle graders not quite ready for Conan Doyle's originals. The dialogue, though over-explanatory, is easy to follow; appended "How Did Holmes Solve It?" pages spell things out even further. The illustrations are atmospheric but a little too caricaturish (check out Holmes's chin). Reading list, websites. Review covers these Graphic Universe: On the Case with Holmes and Watson titles: Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of Black Peter and Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Cardboard Box.
Reviewer: Elissa Gershowitz
