This fun and fast-paced detective novel (sequel to THE 100-YEAR-OLD SECRET) will please young mystery lovers. While living in England, American twins Xena and Xander stumble upon another 100-year-old mystery that their famous ancestor Sherlock Holmes couldn't solve. During their family vacation in the quiet village of Blackslope, a horrible creature terrifies the town, and Xena and Xander jump into their detective roles. Author Tracy Barrett entwines snippets from the Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle along with traditional English expressions, customs, and foods.

Once I started reading I couldn't put it down. I told my mom that it felt like I was in the story and I had butterflies in my stomach. My mom was so happy that I found a book that I really liked -- BK

I am so thrilled that we finally found a series that my daughter loves. As a book lover myself, I can jump into any book and like it. However, it has been verry difficult to find books that my kids like. I have to say that my daughter is 9 and this IS the first book that she begged to read to us. Thank you, Thank-you! There is hope that she will be passionate about books! We are now looking for more to read!
