come to know so well, including Dr. Watson, James Moriarty, and, of
course, Sherlock Holmes." --The Conan Doyle Estate A Junior Library
Guild Gold Standard Selection pick! From the critically acclaimed
author of Yonder and The Ethan I Was Before, Ali Standish, comes a
thrilling middle grade tale featuring hair-raising adventures, new
friendships, secret societies, and the mind behind one of the
greatest detectives of all time: Sherlock Holmes. When young Arthur
Conan Doyle is o-ffered a spot at Baskerville Hall, a secret school
for extraordinarily gifted children, he is elated at being
chosen--and being given a chance to turn his family's fortunes
around. There, Arthur makes quick friends with Irene Eagle, a girl
who boldly strides into action, and Jimmie Moriarty, a boy whose
brilliance rivals Arthur's own. Together, they discover that their
new school is a peculiar place, home to leaning towers and
unexplained explosions, prowling wolves and extinct birds. Arthur
quickly makes enemies, too-- deadly foes who wants him expelled . .
. or worse. When Arthur and his friends are invited into a powerful
secret society called the Clover, they must pass three challenging
tests to be accepted. But along the way, Arthur uncovers a mystery
that will lead to grand adventure . . . and even greater danger. "A
delightful twist on the Sherlock universe. Hand this to any young
reader, and watch the pages turn." --Scott Reintgen, New York Times

most intriguing school list, with Hogwarts and the School for Good
and Evil." --Kathryn Lasky, Newbery Honor author "Ali Standish's
expansion of the Sherlock Holmes-verse more than fulfills the
promise of its delightful premise. With its engaging cast of kid
characters, tantalizing boarding school setting, and intriguing
mystery at its heart, this is a book to lose yourself in." --Anne
Ursu, author of The Troubled Girls of Dragomir Academy
