Acclaimed author Elizabeth Eulberg continues her hilarious
middle-grade twist on Sherlock Holmes as detective duo Shelby and
Watson tackle their trickiest case yet--going undercover . . . as figure
skaters!
Being friends with a super sleuth isn't easy, especially when she's nine
years old, four feet tall, and full of attitude. But for
eleven-year-old John Watson, being friends with Shelby Holmes is just
the adventure he's looking for.
After Watson's online journal chronicling his and Shelby's case-closing
abilities attracts the attention of a newspaper reporter, the pair
becomes a small "media sensation" in their Harlem neighborhood. So it's
no surprise (at least, to Shelby!) when the article lands them a new
client--a figure skating coach whose star athlete, Jordan Nelson, is
receiving strange, threatening messages, written entirely in code.
There's no one better to crack the cipher than dynamic duo Shelby and
Watson! But to gather information, Shelby decides that they'll have to
go undercover . . . as an award-winning pair skating team. Can they use
the laws of physics and their acting skills to maintain their covers and
figure out who's sending Jordan such strange messages before it's too
late?
