The Great Shelby Holmes
The Great Shelby Holmes
The Great Shelby Holmes is a mystery novel with a main character who is not your average sixth grader! It follows Shelby Holmes, a brilliant, quirky, and socially awkward nine-year-old detective who solves mysteries in her Harlem neighborhood. Her sidekick, John Watson, is adjusting to life in New York City after moving around due to his mother’s career.
When a local girl’s prized show dog goes missing, Shelby takes on the case with Watson tagging along. As the two work together, Watson learns to navigate Shelby's eccentric personality and sharp intellect while finding his own strengths in their budding friendship.
