Amazing Books, Fantastic Writing!By Lizzie GaskinsAndrew Lane has written a phenomenal series! I am always wary of people who have written about a part of Sherlock Holmes' life that was not detailed by the original author, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. But with Lane's books, it's obvious that he has taken great pains to preserve the details that ACD did give enhance them. The mysteries are detailed, and intricate

2. there's a lot of intense action fantastic adventure! The character are fantastically written , in these books, you can see plausible explanations for how Sherlock Mycroft became the men they were in the original works! I have read the whole series it is wonderful! Try it! You'll love it! Make sure to read the series in order (star with Death Cloud)! Later books will ruin major plot points from earlier books!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Breathless ActionBy DrstatzOne thing I can say after having read a number of books in the series is that readers who want to settle comfortably in on a Friday evening for a good, leisurely read should stay away from them. The action is nonstop with twists, abrupt changes and misdirections that will keep you sitting up in your chair. It is impossible not to get caught up in the action and find yourself reading as fast as you can. One characteristic I've observed about these books is that there will be surprises lurking in every corner and it definitely isn't over until it's over. One disadvantage I've suffered is not reading the books in the correct order. Each builds upon the other and all of them taken as one volume would constitute an epic easily belonging in the company of 'The Sign of Four' and others by Conan Doyle. 'Red Leech' and 'Snakebite' here I come.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great seriesBy Mom2twoboyzGreat series, my 13 year old loves them (they are at the lower end of his reading level) In Fire Storm by Andrew Lane, young Sherlock's friend and her father have vanished. Their house looks as if nobody has ever lived in it; the neighbors claim never to have heard of them. Sherlock begins to doubt his sanity, until a clever clue points him to Scotland. Following that clue leads him into a mystery that involves kidnapping, bodysnatchers, and a man who claims he can raise the dead. Only the budding detective Sherlock can untangle the mind-bendingand dangerouspuzzles that ensnare his friends. Think you know Sherlock Holmes? Think again! From School Library JournalGr 7 UpThis fourth book (Macmillan, 2013) in the "Sherlock Holmes: The Legend Begins" series picks up with 14-year-old Sherlock and his good friend Matty on a dangerous rescue mission. Amyus and Virginia Crowe have disappeared from quiet Farnham, seemingly without a trace. One small clue is uncovered: the head of a rabbit left behind in a burrow. Sherlock reasons that Amyus and Virginia are on the run to Edinburgh ("head-in-burrow"), Scotland. With his ever-increasing abilities at observation and deduction, Sherlock charges after the Crowes and faces his scariest foe yet, a vengeful American set to murder Virginia. While the violence within the story is often excessive (and this one describes bear baiting and dog fighting), the plot moves steadily along as the reader is caught up in the complexities of several story threads: the resolution to housekeeper Mrs. Eglantine's snooping, the disappearance of the Crowes and Sherlock's unbreakable loyalties to those he loves and cares for. James Langton's narration is excellent with skillful English, Scottish, and American accents.Suzanne Dix, The Seven Hills School, Cincinnati, OHFrom BooklistWhen 16-year-old Sherlock Holmes former tutor and his daughter disappear from their home, the young detective embarks on a quest to find and rescue them, which takes him from the English countryside, through London, and into Edinburgh, Scotland. This is the fourth entry in the Sherlock Holmes: The Legend Begins series, which explores the beginnings of the famous character. The story here is formulaic, but the clues are inventive and at times intricate. There are references to an earlier adventure, which established the reasons why Holmes is searching for Amyus Crowe, but readers can enjoy this entry without any backstory. At times Lane overexplains history or culture in a way that underestimates his audience, and Holmes sidekick, Matty, knows too much about too many subjects to be believable as a street urchin. But these quirks wont prevent enjoyment of the story. Try this with fans of Philip Pullmans Sally Lockhart series.
