The third case in the compelling Boy Sherlock Holmes series is full of as many twists and turns as the backstreets of Victorian London.
When a wealthy young girl vanishes as if by magic in Hyde Park, Sherlock is once again driven to prove himself. In a heart-stopping race against time, an innocent boy’s survival depends on Sherlock’s ability to solve the mysterious puzzle of the Vanishing Girl. As complex as the maze that protects the missing girl’s hiding place, this case takes Sherlock racing to the countryside, the coast, and into the lair of a menagerie of exotic, dangerous creatures.
Haunted by memories of his shattered family, goaded by his enemies, driven to heal the fragile relationship between him and the beautiful Irene Doyle, Sherlock makes an almost fatal mistake. In the end, his brilliant powers of deduction and the steadfast eccentric Sigerson Bell save the day. Soon, very soon, the world will come to know him as the master detective of all time.

      Gr 5-8-The 14-year-old daughter of Lord Rathbone has been abducted, and no word has been heard from her captors in more than two months. Ever curious, Holmes is ready to spring into action when the ransom note finally arrives and is read publicly by a Scotland Yard inspector. Largely on his own, the young detective seemingly finds the girl and solves the case within a matter of hours. In typical Holmesian fashion, however, things are not always as they seem. Mistaken identity, double crossing, and the superstitions of the common folk all make the mystery stay out of reach for longer than the sleuth would like. The boy Holmes is, in general, more likable than his adult counterpart; he is less pompous, more connected to his impoverished roots. However, like the elder Holmes, it is ambition more than altruism that drives him to find the girl. Fast paced and filled with clues readers can follow, this is a fun read."Nora G. Murphy, Los Angeles Academy Middle School"
