Sinossi
Sfuggire al detective più brillante del mondo sembrerebbe un'impresa persa in partenza: nessuno ha abbastanza arguzia per superare Sherlock Holmes... Nessuno tranne sua sorella Enola. Che infatti non ha la minima intenzione di farsi rinchiudere in casa per diventare una signorina a modo, come vorrebbero Sherlock e Mycroft. Del resto, Enola se la cava benissimo da sola. E adesso che ha iniziato a lavorare presso lo studio del dottor Ragostin, illustre detective di Londra, sa di aver trovato la sua strada. È proprio qui che per la prima volta sente parlare di lady Cecily. Bellissima e corteggiatissima giovane che dal giorno alla notte svanisce misteriosamente nel nulla. Che si tratti di fuga d'amore? O peggio... di omicidio? Le tracce sono indecifrabili, le strade di Londra insicure, Scotland Yard brancola nel buio. Enola però non si perde d'animo: è pronta a prendere in mano le indagini e infrangere tutte le regole, pur di risolvere il caso. Sempre che questo non la trasformi nella prossima vittima... Tra incredibili travestimenti e fughe rocambolesche, continuano le avventure di Enola, un'eroina intelligente e caparbia, capace di farla sotto il naso dello stesso Sherlock Holmes. Età di lettura: da 12 anni.

~4.5 stars~ I loved this book so much more than the first. Where the first book was more focussed on character building and setup, this one focussed more on the mystery. Oh Enola!! She has grown so considerably as a character. She is brave, sharp and fierce. My favorite part of this book has to be
The second novel in an engaging new series Pitched at a reading level considerably higher than the justifiably famous Nancy Drew series, THE CASE OF THE LEFT-HANDED LADY continues the adventures of Enola Holmes, the hitherto unknown, late-arriving younger sister of Mycroft and Sherlock Holmes, who w Leggi tutto
One of the best young adult series for girls is a series by Nancy Springer featuring a tween-age detective living in London. Her name is Enola. It is important to note two very important facts: 1) The setting is Victorian England, roughly the latter-half of the 19th century. Not the best time and pl Leggi tutto
Simply delightful. This is the first Enola Holmes novel I've read and it is proof that fiction for children need not be stupid, nor must it condescend to their intelligence. There is so much here that the average child would not know and yet it's not explained outright. Springer assumes, quite corre Leggi tutto
I read “ The Case of the Left-Handed Lady ” to see if Nancy Springer's Enola Holmes series would improve with the second instalment. When I came upon » Chapter the First «, though, I had an inkling about how this review would read because just like the ridiculous chapter titles, this is The Case of Even Leggi tutto
3,75 stars This book continues to follow Enola and her various adventures living undercover in London. I quite enjoyed reading about her shenanigans and especially her fooling her older brothers. But in my opinion, the overall plot just wasn't as interesting as it was in the first book, so I rated th Leggi tutto
