Summary

Llegan las aventuras de Enola Holmes, la hemana pequeña del célebre detective Sherlock Holmes.

Londres, 1889. La hermana pequeña del célebre Sherlock Holmes, Enola Holmes, ha decidido vivir sola a raíz de la repentina desaparición de su madre.

Tras escapar de la vigilancia de sus hermanos, y al amparo de una identidad falsa, monta un gabinete como «especialista en investigar todo tipo de desapariciones». Para su sorpresa, su primer cliente es el mismísimo doctor Watson, que anda buscándola a ella pero por suerte no la reconoce.

Enola no puede ayudar a Watson, pero se interesa por otro caso que él le menciona: la desaparición, en los peligrosos bajos fondos londinenses, de la hija de un barón, Lady Cecily Alistair, una adolescente nada convencional...

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Sherlock Holmes' strong willed and equally brilliant younger sister takes center stage in these graphic novel adaptations of Nancy Springer's bestselling mystery series.

Hiding from Sherlock and her other brother, Mycroft, who want to place her in a boarding school following their mother's disappearance, Enola has reinvented herself as Ivy Meshle, secretary to the fictitious Dr. Ragostin, specialist in finding missing persons. Her new client? None other than Sherlock's friend, Dr. John Watson! His mission: to employ Dr. Ragostin to find the missing Enola! She decides to take the case, only so she can keep tabs on Sherlock's every move to locate her.

Yet Ivy Meshle is just one of Enola's disguises. In her search for a missing teenager, the Lady Cecily Alistair, she alternately poses as Lady Ragostin, wife of her non-existent employer, and as "Sister," the kindly nun who braves the dangerous nighttime alleys to bring comfort to the homeless. All the time she and Sherlock play a game of cat and mouse.

This beautifully drawn graphic novel adaptation also includes a portfolio of pages from Enola's secret notebook.
