4-6Sherlock Holmes and the Baker Street Irregulars series.
Illustrated by
Greg Ruth.
Mack and Citrin flesh out the role of Sherlock Holmes's ragtag band of boys known as the Baker Street Irregulars as they help solve a circus family's murder. Holmes, Dr. Watson, and Professor Moriarty make appearances, and Ruth's drawings are appropriately dark and sketchy. Appended "facts and practicals for the aspiring detective" include a cast of characters, slang glossary, and historical context.
