About this deal

You also get annoying tidbits like this: “I firmly believe that the whole reason women must wear long skirts is so that they are unable to do anything worthwhile.” First of all, Enola, you really think there is some nefarious plot going on to stop all women from being themselves??? Through skirts???? Please shut up. Second of all, this is in the middle of a chase scene. Can we cut the political stuff and get to the action, please? Enola surprises me everytime with her resourcefulness and her clever mind. I love how she always analyses and thinks everything through before acting on it. Which doesn't discount of her being able to think on her feet at moments of distress. I am still in awe how she always manages to outsmart her brothers who for reason still discredit and look upon as a child. Even though she suffers from moments of loneliness, her determination for independence is truly remarkable. Empowered, capable, and smart . . . [with] an impactful message that you can do anything if you set your mind to it." --Millie Bobby Brown, Stranger Things 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

Ich bin mir auch noch nicht ganz sicher, ob es von der Autorin eine gute Idee war, die Auflösung des Falls um den verschwundenen Dr. Watson im ersten Kapitel schon zu verraten oder nicht. Der Vorteil war, dass ich als Leser immer wusste, ob Enola auf der richtigen Spur ist oder nicht. Una tercera parte que engancha y que deja con ganas de continuar con la saga. La lectura es amena en todo momento, así que entre eso y lo corto que es el libro (205 páginas), me lo acabé en un par de sentadas. IDW: Enola Holmes: The Case of the Missing Marquess".

Con el segundo libro, ya había ajustado las expectativas en cuanto al tono de la historia, pero es cierto que la resolución me pareció un tanto confusa, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta que, en principio, es un libro enfocado a un público middle-grade. Dear Enola bends her ferocious intellect and perceptiveness to a case that that elicits her immediate interest and concern. Doctor John Watson is missing, and no one knows what has happened to him.

Con sus más y sus menos, esta novela se lee en un suspiro y se agradece que en ningún momento se infantilicen los comportamientos de los personajes. A esto hay que sumarle que la autora sabe introducir bien en la trama explicaciones sobre costumbres del siglo XIX en Inglaterra, y aprovecha para hacer una denuncia contra algunas injusticias. En esta ocasión, lo que más se toca es la facilidad para encerrar a alguien es una institución mental, especialmente a mujeres, solo por tener actitudes “reprochables” o poco decoro. No se ahonda en exceso en el asunto, pero se aprenden cosas.The villain is a mentally ill woman. I dislike this in general, because it’s easy for authors to use this as an excuse for a flawed plot: it doesn’t have to make sense, because the villain’s crazy! It also makes for gruesome scenes. And yes, this book has them. The lady’s face got eaten by rats. Springer, Nancy (22 June 2015). "Nancy Springer Interview" (Interview). Interviewed by Dag R . Retrieved 8 October 2020. I just finished a road trip with my 10 year old granddaughter. We listened to this book instead of music. She is an avid reader who loved the PBS Enola Holmes show. We both were intrigued by this case and enjoyed the book.
