Una niebla amarillenta cubre la ciudad de Londres. En mitad de la noche, una mujer es apuñalada brutalmente y abandonada en un charco de sangre. Nadie presencia el terrible asesinato_ o al menos eso parece. Cerca de allĂ, un joven brillante e insatisfecho sueña con una vida mejor. Es hijo de un intelectual judĂo y una mujer de clase alta, que han caĂdo en la miseria. El chico se llama Sherlock Holmes. El protagonista, que siente la extraña necesidad de visitar el escenario del crimen, tiene un encuentro con el joven árabe injustamente acusado del asesinato. Poco a poco, se adentra en el misterio hasta que Ă©l mismo acaba convertido en sospechoso. This is the first in a series about a 13-year-old Sherlock Holmes. It's a good detective story where you basically start with no clues and little by little the pieces start to fall together. This one is a loose take on the Jack the Ripper crimes in Whitechapel in the late 1800s. We get a vague sense of life in the underbelly as he cohorts with street urchins and travels around to the less desirable areas of London, but I didn't get a sense of the Sherlock he would become in the Doyle books. From a teen perspective I would give it 4 stars. 3.5 stars 13-year old Sherlock Holmes is bullied at school and mostly skips it, anyway. When a woman is murdered and a boy arrested, Holmes is convinced the boy is innocent and goes out to find the real killer. Well, I enjoyed this! I liked the extra background information on Sherlock Holmes – his family and his life beyond Watson and solving crimes. And it was fun getting to know some of the other characters – Holmes new friend, Irene, and the young local crime boss in the area, Malefactor. The mystery itself started off slow for me, but picked up in the second half. I enjoyed this and will read the next in the series. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML:Sherlock Holmes, just thirteen, is a misfit. His highborn mother is the daughter of an aristocratic family, his father a poor Jew. Their marriage flouts tradition and makes them social pariahs in the London of the 1860s; and their son, Sherlock, bears the burden of their rebellion. Friendless, bullied at school, he belongs nowhere and has only his wits to help him make his way. But what wits they are! His keen powers of observation are already apparent, though he is still a boy. He loves to amuse himself by constructing histories from the smallest detail for everyone he meets. Partly for fun, he focuses his attention on a sensational murder to see if he can solve it. But his game turns deadly serious when he finds himself the accused â?? and in London, they hang boys of thirteen. Shane Peacock has created a boy who bears all the seeds of the character who has mesmerized millions: the relentless eye, the sense of justice, and the complex ego. The boy Sherlock Holmes is a fascinating character who is sure to become a fast favorite with young readers everywhe Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
