Enola HolmesThe Enola Holmes series are such delightful books! In this installment, Enola is once again called upon to rescue Cecily Adams, the Left-Handed young lady from book two. Enola encounters the girl at a lady's lavatory where she is obviously being held under the watchful eyes of two d...
Enola Holmes gets better with each book. Her affection for Sherlock, and her desire for his approval speak to my own relationship with my dad. Sherlock is the father figure she didn't know she wanted. Speaking to how small London really is, she keeps crossing paths with her brothers and often nar...
This book was a very fun book to read. I loved how Enola Holme's daring and cunning is used to escape countless times. The only problem was that the phrase "I will spare the reader the exact account of…." was used to often and in times were the conversation could have been edited in a way where...
I really wish this series was longer, I truly do. I just finished this the fifth, and there's only one more, and oh, Nancy Springer, how can you stop Enola's adventures there? This installment is excellent, just fabulous. Listening to Katherine Kellgren's narration is like eating the most delicio...
I think this was the final Enola Holmes book... I'm reading them way out of order. But that doesn't matter - they're wonderful.Enola wants to discover what happened to her mother, and she wants the respect and affection of her older brothers, who she very much looks up to. But her brothers have b...
Final book of Enola Holmes and her battle for independance...Year has passed since Enola ran from home after her mother left her but also leaves her means to be free and independent, leaving her money she saved for years. In this series Springer showed us world of London underground, lower and ...
It is a surprising novel and a good read. I had never read Nancy Springer before this book. I met her at the Tallahassee Writers Conference and bought her book, because she impressed me as a fascinating person. Her sense of humor is evident throughout Dark Lie. The protagonist is a lupus-affected...
I picked this book up thinking it was a mystery. It isn't (despite what the cover says). It's really a book about how a boy is changed when his best friend, Aaron, is murdered.It's a very moving book in that way. I really felt for the main character, Jeremy, and the whole time I read the book ...
Intrigued by the mysterious and angry Romany boy who joins her class, thirteen-year-old horse-crazy Gray finds that he shares her love of horses but harbors a dark secret of his own. (synopsis via Amazon)This is one of my favorite books of all time. I read this book for the first time 4 years ago...
"Rowan Hood Returns" the final book in the "Tales of Rowan Hood" Series. I read all these way back in middle school, and I must say, I think this series is my very favorite children's series about Robin Hood. Much better than "hawksmaid" or "Robin's Country." (That one was so bad it made "Keeper ...
Spoilers if you haven’t read the first two books.I’m beginning to suspect Springer had/has daddy problems. Even Robin might as well be a casual brother, and not Rowan’s father. And this also seems like a rehash of book two, only tailored to fit the main lead of this book - the runaway princess Et...
Goodreads says this is #2, but it was published first. Fantastic Fiction says aka The Book of Suns, btw.I thought I'd read this because it was on a glbt list, or a gender list.. but darned if I know why even after having read it. Brotherly love is a big part of it, but.. it doesn't even have a bi...
I don't like that when you hover over three stars on Goodreads it says "liked it". I didn't like this book, but there was nothing glaringly wrong with it. I just didn't like parts of the narrative.For some reason, the whole "Cerilla has to marry a man, consummate the marriage, and then watch hi...
"It is a sad tale, as are all tales of..." yes, Middle Earth, but also Isle and Vale, apparently. Sad, but also well told and hard to put down. I was a little disappointed that it didn't have a better resolution. It was as though Frain adopted all of Tirrel's problems... but unfortunately, he did...
read during my Social Work YearsI Remember: a flight through a rural countryside into a capital city full of strangeness & intrigue... a disguised heroine who remains quite loveable despite some often annoyingly passive behavior... a nonchalantly studly hero, a very ingratiating example of the ty...
