1-3Werewolf Club series.
Illustrated by
Jill Pinkwater.
While using an unreliable time travel machine, the Watson Elementary School Werewolf Club and their advisor Mr. Talbot accidentally get transported to 1890 England. In order to return home, they must help Sherlock Holmes stop Jack the Schlepper from stealing the crown jewels. The black-and-white cartoon illustrations add nothing to the narrative, but the story, told mostly in dialogue, is episodic and goofy.
