4-6Sherlock Holmes: The Legend Begins series.
Two men die from what evidence suggests is a plague; the cause is in fact killer bees. That solved, fourteen-year-old Sherlock must catch the miscreants, aided by his tutor and a scrappy, streetwise sidekick. While the book is more thrill-packed action-movie than cool deductive mystery, Sherlock Holmes fans will delight in numerous in-jokes, and adventure readers will thrill to the high-stakes storytelling.
