"Is it too late for me to enroll at the Sherlock Academy of Fine Sleuths? I adore this series, and The Holmes Brigade feels as if Trenton Lee Stewart and Eoin Colfer have teamed up to write the perfect homage to my favorite fictional detective. F.C. Shaw is marvelous."
- Charles Finch, bestselling author of theCharles Lenox Mysteries​

“I loved everything about these books! The characters, the plot, the mystery, the action, the school, the writing style . . . everything is wonderful!

Rollie is an excellent main character. He’s smart and observant, and he wants to be just like Sherlock Holmes. I really identified with his thought process and his emotions and excitement in the middle of a mystery.

I loved the easy friendship between Rollie and Cecily. They are great friends, and it really shows in their banter and camaraderie. I loved how they nickname each other ‘Holmes’ and ‘Watson.’
