No Place Like Holmes by Jason Lethcoe starts with a boy named Griffin Sharpe who is sent to live with his uncle in England for the summer. He is a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes and ends up at his uncle’s who lives in the same building, almost same number. His uncle does not believe in Sherlock Holmes style, but begins to grow on it with his nephew’s help. Griffin and his uncle team up to help a find a kidnapped watchmaker. With many exciting moments this book is sure to please any 9-12 year old and adult alike. There are many references to Sherlock Holmes that younger generations may not catch or have background knowledge in which may take away a bit from the story. Overall it is a great read if you like mysteries with good Christian morals woven throughout.
