OliphantThe Baker Street PeculiarsBy Roger Langridge andIllustrated by Andy HirschRating 5SynopsisThe Baker Street Peculiars is a supernatural twist on the beloved world of .When a giant lion statue in Trafalgar Square comes to life and wreaks havoc on 1930s London, it seems like the perfect case for the worldrsquo;s most famous detective, Sherlock Holmes. With an overwhelmed caseload, however, Holmes recruits the help of three precocious young detectives-in-training (and one cunning golden retriever) to solve the mystery. Molly, Rajani, Humphrey, and Wellington (the dog) will have to work together and use all their wits if they are to uncover the truth behind the living statues and save London. But on the legendary Baker Street, nothing is as it seems and their biggest mystery might be the real identity of the famous detective who brought them together.Ah, who is up for an entertaining jaunt through the streets of London, seeing not only the sights; but also a bit of the seedier side of London town? Actually, Irsquo;m not a huge fan of graphic novels; but I did grow up reading Archie, Richie Rich and Scooby Doo. This took me back in time more than a few years or two! It did take me awhile to get used to the English street lingo; but Irsquo;m rather quick for a grandma so all is good! This is a great modern tale of three unsuspecting and hardly compatible comrades in crime solvers. However, it just goes to show that whatever is lacking, one of the partners most likely excels to meet the need. AND there is a side angle of Sherlock Holmes being involved as well! What could be cooler than that??? The characters are diverse and have the beginnings of complexity. I simply love Molly. She is the brains. Raj is the street wise character and Humphrey, with his wealthy connections and his dog, Wellington, are thrown in for good measure. What a mix this foursome arehellip;and will be! They are captivating and will hold you prisoner to the very end! The graphics are to die for. Well, not really die; but definitely to be enjoyed. Art, and I mean this literally, is displayed on every single page! I thouroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to more. Irsquo;m sending this book to my favorite nephew of mine, Canyon. Enjoy!!!!! Because I did! Oh, to be 10 years old againhellip;.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A cute mystery with some able detectives working for Sherlock Holmes!By Wayne A McCoy'The Baker Street Peculiars' by Roger Langridge with illustrations by Andy Hirsch is a fun romp through the streets of London with a new group of young detectives.It's the 1930s and many of the large statues around London are going missing. Sherlock Holmes can't take on the case, but asks three kids in the streets (plus one dog) to help out. Humphrey is going to a private school, Molly is living with her grandfather, and Rajani is a homeless girl living on the streets. They don't know each other before Sherlock hires them. The mystery involves a Cockney golem and the kids find themselves in all kinds of trouble. They also find out that there may be more to Sherlock than they've been led to believe.It's a cute enough story. Although the setting and story involve Sherlock, the timeframe and the type of story don't feel much like an actual Sherlock Holmes adventure. This won't be for the purists, but it's fine for younger readers who like stories with diverse characters. I like the message that females can solve crime and have adventures just like the males can.I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Boom! Studios and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Itrsquo;d be a great gateway for younger audiences who need an introduction to the mystery that is Sherlock Holmes.By PhysiuxI have been on something of a Holmes binge lately reading various graphic novels and books that take Doylersquo;s character and his life into various directions. Thankfully this latest incantation keeps up the good work in how that literary classic is presented both through the written and visual story.Roger Langridge took something from a classic age and retold it with the same grace and beauty but in a way more modern readers will love. A diverse cast of various belief systems, genders, and races form the ragtag group of characters that will melt your heart as they solve a mystery only Holmes could tell it.As great as the scene work, dialogue and characters are what adds that extra layer of beauty and depth are the illustrations by Andy Hirsch. They reminded me a bit of the way were done back in the age of Richie Rich and Archie. Those amusing and vibrant styles that exude the playfulness and joy captured within the written word on the pages.Itrsquo;s definitely a fun adaptation of the Holmes Legend and itrsquo;s perfect for all ages to enjoy.
