Sherlock Bones, the world’s greatest dog detective, and his trusty sidekick Dr Jane Catson are back for another crime-solving adventure.

A good romp of a mystery * The School Librarian on 'Sherlock Bones and the Case of the Crown Jewels' * A very interesting concept, slightly reminiscent of the 'Choose your own Adventure' books. This will appeal to key stage 2 readers, especially those who may have reading difficulties and encourages collaboration among readers, with one reading the story and the other solving the puzzles. * The School Librarian on ‘Sherlock Bones and the Curse of the Pharaoh’s Mask’ *
