The Missing Heir (The Sherlock Files Book 4) by Tracy Barrett -ADVISABLE

Barrett, Tracy The Missing Heir (The Sherlock Files Book 4), 176 pgs Henry Holt and Co, 2011. $11.67.

Xena and Zander are a pair of junior detectives, it’s in their blood, as they are relatives of the famous detective Sherlock Holmes. When a girl they go to school with, who happens to be a princess, goes missing, the siblings feel they must get involved. After all, their ancestor had an unsolved case in the same family, when a few generations back a baby princess went missing. Can they solve both mysteries and find their friend?

This was a fun and interesting story that could function as a stand alone despite being book 4. Students will enjoy the problem solving and fast paced plot. Very entertaining and well written.
