The Case Of The Cryptic Crinoline (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
I really wish this series was longer, I truly do. I just finished this the fifth, and there's only one more, and oh, Nancy Springer, how can you stop Enola's adventures there? This installment is excellent, just fabulous. Listening to Katherine Kellgren's narration is like eating the most delicious candy - you never want it to end. As always, the mystery is interesting, and the thing I love most about this series - the continual depth and growth of the characters - takes center stage. This book, this whole series, is just a joy to experience. Springer, N. (2009). An Enola Holmes Mystery: The Case of The Cryptic Crinoline. New York: The Penguin GroupFiction Choice: MysteryAgatha Award Nominee for Best Childrens Young Adult (2009) This book is about a teenage girl named Enola Holmes.

She didn't know what the letter was talking about, and what message she had to give to the mysterious person. Two days afterwards, Mrs. Tupper got abducted. Enola was shocked. She put her best thinking hat on to try and find Mrs. Tupper. In the end, with a little help from Mrs. Nightinggale, and her brother Sherlock Holmes, Enola was able to find and rescue Mrs. Tupper.
