When Enola Holmes, the much younger sister of detective Sherlock
Holmes, discovers her mother has disappeared--on her 14th birthday
nonetheless--she knows she alone can find her. Disguising herself as a grieving
widow, Enola sets out to the heart of London to uncover her mother's
whereabouts--but not even the last name Holmes can prepare her for what
awaits. Suddenly involved in the kidnapping of the young Marquess of
Basilwether, Enola must escape murderous villains, free the spoiled Marquess,
and perhaps hardest of all, elude her shrewd older brother--all while collecting
clues to her mother's disappearance!
- By Nancy Springer, “Enola Holmes”
