This was a great book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Case of the Baker Street Irregular (An Aladdin Book) (Paperback)
I think that this book was a good introduction to children starting to read the Sherlock Holmes mysteries. It showed how he thought, and was a good children's book.

The Perfect Mystery!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Case of the Baker Street Irregular (Turtleback)
I love this book! It's perfect for smart 10-11 yearolds-that's when I read it. It's a good beginner Sherlock Holmes, but not like a "My First Sherlock Holmes" book. THIS IS A GREAT BOOK! Andrew Craigie thinks somthing's up when he discovers that his gaurdian is kidnapped. Then someone attempts to kidnapp him! THe case then goes to the great Sherlock Holmes! Take my word for it, this is a great book.

This review is from: The Case of the Baker Street Irregular (An Aladdin Book) (Paperback)
I read this book as a kid and I still enjoy it. The story follows a young boy who finds himself separated from his mother and alone in London. He ends up working for Holmes when he meets the sister of Wiggins, one of Holmes's Baker Street Irregulars. The mystery solved is a good one and the characters are interesting. Holmes and Watson are in character as well. It's a good book for kids who like Sherlock Holmes or mysteries. It's also just a flat-out good Holmes story for anyone who enjoys following the exploits of the detective, despite the fact that it was written for children.
