Забулената наемателка

The Sherlock Holmes Children's Collection #9

by Stephanie Baudet, Стефани Баудет (Adapter), Артър Конан Дойл

Преди седем години в малкото селище Абас Парва се разиграва потресаваща сцена. Господин Рондър, собственикът на „Рондър и неговия спектакъл с диви животни“, среща смъртта си, след като цирковият лъв се освобождава от клетката си и го напада.

Холмс се среща лице в лице с една стара неразгадана мистерия и с една жена, която крие лицето си. Зловещо престъпление, извършено преди седем години, е довело до ужасни последици и от Холмс зависи дали забулената наемателка ще се спаси от собствената си съвест.

[Vanja · Rating 4 out of 5]

Knjiga je kratka, ali i zanimljiva!

[Kailey (Luminous Libro) · Rating 5 out of 5]

A mysterious woman who always covers her face with a veil begs Holmes to hear her confession and the story of how her face was mangled by a ferocious lion.

This Sherlock Holmes mystery is retold and simplified for children ages 7-13. The story follows exactly the same story line as the original book by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, with much of the same dialogue and narration. Holmes and Watson are the same beloved characters that we know, and the mystery is just as suspenseful and thrilling as the original.

I loved how the writing style is simple, but is still vivid and energetic! The text is large, and there are a few definition boxes that explain terms or historical items that may be unfamiliar.

I loved the black and white illustrations that pop up every few pages. The cartoony style of the drawings is just right for this type of children's retelling, and gives an added flair to the story. The artwork is sometimes humorous and fun, making the story a little more lighthearted for young people.

I can't wait to revisit more Holmes stories in this children's series! This is an excellent way to introduce classics to elementary and middle grade readers!

I don’t really like the book because they haven’t solved the case yet but I guess I could say this book is pretty good.
