(4) 4-6 Graphic Universe: On the Case with Holmes and Watson series. Adapted by Murray Shaw. Illustrated by Sophie Rohrbach. Also adapted by M. J. Cosson. These graphic novel–style adaptations of Holmes's adventures are well suited to middle graders. The dialogue is reminiscent of Conan Doyle's writing yet easier to follow. The illustrations' cartoon characters are appealing, but the heavy black lines and dark palette are sometimes intrusive. Reading list, websites. Review covers these On the Case with Holmes and Watson titles: Sherlock Holmes and a Scandal in Bohemia, Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure at the Abbey Grange, and Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Blue Gem.
