The Case of the Cryptic Crinoline

Edgar Award-winning author Nancy Springer captivates young listeners with mysteries that feature Sherlock Holmes' little sister Enola. Abandoned by her mother and fearing her brothers will exile her to a finishing school, 14-year-old Enola lives a lonely London existence. But when someone kidnaps her elderly landlady-the closest thing she has to family these days-the feisty heroine will do whatever it takes to find her. "From the riveting prologue to the satisfying conclusion, readers are hurled headlong into [the story]."-Library Journal
