Enola Holmes's landlady, Mrs. Tupper, is the closest thing Enola has to family these days, besides her occasional run-ins with her brother Sherlock.

I love this one too! Nancy Springer again does not fail to delight me in this, the next to the end, mystery of Sherlock Holmes' 'little sister'....Delightful, fun, well crafted detective work. At least my 3rd read of this book and smiled, laughed,and thoroughly enjoyed :) I wish there were so many more!
