Enola Holmes: The Case of the Bizarre Bouquets: An Enola Holmes Mystery: 3

Product Information

For when Enola visits the grieving Mrs. Watson, she discovers a decidedly bizarre bouquet among the standard bunches of flowers signifying condolences. Composed of an odd and sinister assortment of flowers, the bizarre bouquet seems to have been sent by someone who wanted revenge on Dr and/or Mrs Watson, and who is very happy the Doctor is missing. Perhaps the sender of the bouquet is also the one responsible for Dr. Watson's disappearance..! she made a much more satisfactory man than a woman, and it was narrow-minded of Pertelote to think otherwise” ….wut? This is about a woman who has literally no face left, disguising herself as a man to take revenge on Dr. Watson…. And this is what we have to say about it? Okay then. Enola rents a room across from the shop so she can watch the women. She overhears that Flora was disfigured very young. When Pertelote failed to babysit her effectively, Flora’s face was eaten off by rats. Enola learns Dr. Watson signed off on Flora’s admission to the insane asylum. The sisters almost catch Enola spying on them. She flees and hurts herself in the process.

Determined to find the missing porter, Enola travels to the rough part of London where the boys live and starts searching Aldgate Pump area for the missing boy. When she finds the missing buttons - but not the boy - she decides that drastic action is essential if she's to save the missing boy. Enola shows herself to be an intelligent, rational, resourceful, and brave protagonist. Readers will look forward to hearing this heroine's unique voice again. -- Publishers Weekly, starred review Drug/Alcohol use: The asylum doctor is a laudanum addict, and most of his nurses are caught in some vice, usually alcohol. Police tell Watson’s wife not to worry when he disappears. They say husbands often come home after a few days of drinking, spending time in opium dens or hanging around with “loose women.” Enola shows herself to be an intelligent, rational, resourceful, and brave protagonist. Readers will look forward to hearing this heroine’s unique voice again.”— Publishers Weekly, starred review Ho apprezzato particolarmente anche l'aver inserito, data la trama, anche la moglie di John - non era scontata la sua presenza, credetemi -.Una tercera parte que engancha y que deja con ganas de continuar con la saga. La lectura es amena en todo momento, así que entre eso y lo corto que es el libro (205 páginas), me lo acabé en un par de sentadas. Enola surprises me everytime with her resourcefulness and her clever mind. I love how she always analyses and thinks everything through before acting on it. Which doesn't discount of her being able to think on her feet at moments of distress. I am still in awe how she always manages to outsmart her brothers who for reason still discredit and look upon as a child. Even though she suffers from moments of loneliness, her determination for independence is truly remarkable. Enola tries to find Lady Cecily Alistair, who disappeared from her bedroom. Enola, after disguising herself, talks to Lady Cecily's family, who think she has run off with the son of a tradesman. Enola finds some strange paintings that make her doubt that notion, and goes to find their daughter. Ich bin mir auch noch nicht ganz sicher, ob es von der Autorin eine gute Idee war, die Auflösung des Falls um den verschwundenen Dr. Watson im ersten Kapitel schon zu verraten oder nicht. Der Vorteil war, dass ich als Leser immer wusste, ob Enola auf der richtigen Spur ist oder nicht. The first book, The Case of the Missing Marquess, and the fifth, The Case of the Cryptic Crinoline, were nominated for the Edgar Award for Best Juvenile Mystery in 2007 and 2010, respectively.

Dr. Watson is the main focus, and that is as it should be. (although, since he’s missing, and the book is from Enola’s perspective, we don’t really see him a lot) Kemudian, kisah ini juga semakin memperkuat karakter Enola Holmes. Melalui kisah ini, pembaca dapat lebih memahami karakter Enola. Berbicara tentang misteri, tentunya tidak usah ragu lagi. Kisah ini akan menyajikan misteri dan penyelesaian yang unik, menarik, dan mengejutkan.

MacPherson, Karen (29 May 2007). "It's no mystery why these books are engrossing". Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. p.C7 . Retrieved 17 March 2016. As with the other Enola Holmes books, although this is considered "Middle Grade" I caution younger audiences that this contains references to some more mature content . Particularly disturbing is a case of disfigurement in this book, as well as lunacy. Enola is seriously becoming my favorite Holmes, the way her mind works yet she still shows her youthful self, her vulnerability and her wishing for a family.

Each of the books has a central mystery at its core that Enola has to solve. Typically, these are focused on women and their problems in the era. For example — women being forced to wear corsets, thrown into arranged marriages, being robbed etc. (the rest of the review is available at my blog or any of the links below) Abseits des "gesellschaftlichen Lebens" im viktorianischen London ist Enola sehr frei aufgewachsen, was vor allem durch die unkoventionelle Lebensart ihrer Mutter zustande kam. Diese ist jedoch verschwunden und Enola seither auf sich allein gestellt - und sie bekommt ihr Leben sehr gut in den Griff! Vor allem die Atmosphäre ist wieder grandios eingefangen von einem düsteren London, der Armut, der Kulisse und mit vielen Details, die das Leben damals sehr lebendig einfangen. Dabei streut die Autorin auch immer wieder Wörter und interessante Infos ein, ohne den Erklär-Bär zu spielen, sondern lässt es direkt in die Handlung einfließen. Da die Reihe für jüngere Leser gedacht ist finde ich das super, um Wissen zu vermitteln, das in eine fesselnde Handlung integriert ist. Das ist mir auch schon in den vorherigen Bänden aufgefallen und ist definitiv ein großer Pluspunkt. Genauso wie die doch anspruchsvolle Schreibweise, die sicher auch ihre Freunde findet bei der jungen Generation und eben auch für Erwachsene ein absolutes Lesevergnügen ist! A heartily satisfying string of entertaining near-catastrophes, replete with narrow squeaks and spectral howls. With precise characterization, fast pacing and keen observation, readers will be eager to learn what Enola will encounter next.

Empowered, capable, and smart . . . with] an impactful message that you can do anything if you set your mind to it. --Millie Bobby Brown, Stranger Things Ah, pero este... me lo he bebido en un par de días. La trama de la desaparición de Watson me ha gustado un montón. Todas las pesquisas que lleva a cabo Enola,me parece una prota muy interesante, y sus tejemanejes para que sus hermanos no la descubran... También me ha gustado cómo avanza mínimamente esta relación al final del libro. Aunque sea un pasito pequeño, es un pasito. Igual que el pasito que da Enola en su mentalidad con respecto a la desaparición de su madre, que aquí en los libros aún no se ha resuelto. I just finished a road trip with my 10 year old granddaughter. We listened to this book instead of music. She is an avid reader who loved the PBS Enola Holmes show. We both were intrigued by this case and enjoyed the book. Enola shows herself to be an intelligent, rational, resourceful, and brave protagonist. Readers will look forward to hearing this heroine’s unique voice again.” — Publishers Weekly, starred review In an earlier volume, Seth, Anaya, and Petra began growing physical characteristics that made them realize they were half alien. Seth has wings, Petra has a tail, and Anaya has fur. They also have the power of telepathy, which Anaya uses to converse with Terra, a cryptogen rebel looking for human allies who could help stop the invasion of Earth. Terra plans to use a virus stored in the three teens’ bodies to disarm the flyers, which are the winged aliens that are both masterminding the invasion and enslaving the other species of cryptogens known as swimmers and runners. But Terra and her allies can’t pull any of this off without the help of Anaya, Seth, and Petra. Although the trio is anxious about their abilities, they don’t have much of a choice—the entire human race is depending on them for salvation. Like its predecessors, this trilogy closer is fast-paced and well structured. Despite its post-apocalyptic setting, the story is fundamentally character driven, and it is incredibly satisfying to watch each protagonist overcome their inner battles within the context of the larger human-alien war. Main characters read as White.
