Overview:
Enola Holmes 5: The Case of the Cryptic Crinoline reunites readers with Sherlock Holmes's fiercely independent younger sister as she takes on her most puzzling case yet. Evading her famous brother in the fog-bound streets of Victorian London, Enola must solve the sudden disappearance of her landlady, Mrs Tupper, using little more than a mysterious crinoline and her own razor-sharp wits. Perfect for fans of the hit Netflix films starring Millie Bobby Brown, this paperback delivers clever mystery, historical detail and an unforgettable heroine for readers aged 9 to 12.

About the Book:
While living quietly under an assumed identity, Enola Holmes has grown close to her elderly landlady, Mrs Tupper — one of the few people she trusts in a city full of danger. When Mrs Tupper vanishes without a trace, Enola launches her own investigation. Searching the ransacked room, she discovers an oddly stitched crinoline hiding coded messages, drawing her into a case stretching from London's back streets to the legacy of Florence Nightingale. As always, Enola must stay ahead of her overbearing brothers, Sherlock and Mycroft, who would rather see her married off than solving crimes. Nancy Springer's fifth mystery combines quick-fire plotting with real emotional depth, exploring Enola's growing confidence and determination to carve out an independent life in a world that expects little of young Victorian women. Readers get authentic period detail, a puzzle-box plot of codes and clues, and the wit that has made the series a favourite with young and reluctant readers alike. Standing on its own as a satisfying mystery, it also rewards those following Enola's story from the start — ideal for readers who love detective fiction and history blended with suspense.
