If it's only slightly dark, he can handle it (he's listened to "The Speckled Band"), and he definitely won't mind a female protagonist (some of his favorite books are Katy Kelly's Lucy Rose series, Junie B. Jones, and the Joan Aiken books with Dido Twite -- I have Clementine on his birthday list). <BR/><BR/>I'll read Enola and look for the other series too - he'd love to read about the Baker Street Irregulars!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15089389.post-39026493311788336152007-02-08T19:02:00.000-05:002007-02-08T19:02:00.000-05:00Hm.

But if he can handle Basil then he might not have any problems with it. If your kids is an open-minded soul then maybe he wouldn't mind the female protagonist either. There was a book series that began in 2006 about the Baker Street Irregulars that might also go over like gangbusters too. I'd give Enola a firsthand look yourself before handing it over immediately.fusenumber8https://www.blogger.com/profile/16216979020263363698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15089389.post-12259310985745083582007-02-08T14:27:00.000-05:002007-02-08T14:27:00.000-05:00About what age do you think the Enola Holmes book ...About what age do you think the Enola Holmes book is suited for? I've got an advanced reader in first grade - I don't worry about comprehension as much as subject matter when I pick chapter books for him. (The Higher Power of Lucky, for example, I just read and thought was more suited to third grade and up.) He loves mysteries like Basil of Baker Street, and has a couple of Sherlock Holmes stories on CD.<BR/>Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
