Review:
I love Sherlock Holmes stories! A Study in Scarlet is the first story about Sherlock Holmes. It is a great introduciton to the character.
This is a simplified version of the story for young readers. There were definitions of some words that kids may not have encountered before, which is a great way to help them understand the story. The story was also shorter than the original, with lots of illustrations for easier understanding.
This is a great Sherlock Holmes story for young readers!
Thank you Sweet Cherry Publishing for providing a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
