A Study in Charlotte

A Study in Charlotte is by Brittany Cavallaro. The first book in the realistic fiction Charlotte Holmes series. An interesting re-working of the Sherlock Holmes stories. Arthur Conan Doyle wrote stories, but Holmes and Watson were real people. Their descendants find themselves in a boarding school in America, where a student is murdered in a way similar to a Holmes mystery and Jamie Watson and Charlotte Holmes are being framed for the murder. Fans of Holmes and Watson should enjoy this more modern re-telling. 

Ratings: 10th grade - 7 out of 10 - AC (some mature thematic content).
