Książka mi się podobała. Na pewno był lepsza niż przygoda w Copper Beeches. W tej części Sherlock i Watson byli milsi. Bohaterowie tej części też przypadli mi do gustu. Zagadka kryminalna w postaci ściągania na egzaminie była super. Polecam wam tą książkę.

Exam papers with the answers to an important test in the college professor's office have been disturbed. There are only three students who could possibly have had access to the room and the exam papers on the desk. But which of the three would have the opportunity and the motive to cheat on their exams? Only Holmes and Watson can figure it out, and accuse the guilty party!
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!
