Enola Holmes and the Elegant Escapade by Nancy Springer -> Starting May 20th, 2022

[Alaina]

Enola Holmes, the much younger sister of Sherlock, is now living independently in London and working as a scientific perditorian (a finder of persons and things). But that is not the normal lot of young women in Victorian England. They are under the near absolute control of their nearest male relative until adulthood. Such is the case of Enola's friend, Lady Cecily Alastair. Twice before Enola has rescued Lady Cecily from unpleasant designs of her caddish father, Sir Eustace Alastair, Baronet. And when Enola is brusquely turned away at the door of the Alastair home it soons becomes apparent that Lady Cecily once again needs her help.

Affecting a bold escape, Enola takes Lady Cecily to her secret office only to be quickly found by the person hired by Lady Cecily's mother to find the missing girl—Sherlock Holmes himself. But the girl has already disappeared again, now loose on her own in the unforgiving city of London.

Even worse, Lady Cecily has a secret that few know. She has dual personalities—one, which is left-handed, is independent and competent; the other, which is right-handed is meek and mild. Now Enola must find Lady Cecily again—before one of her personalities gets her into more trouble than she can handle and before Sherlock can find her and return her to her father. Once again, for Enola, the game is afoot.

Prologue: (view spoiler)[Still don't understand the whole cousin marriage thing. It's so gross. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 1-9: (view spoiler)["mush-faker" okay, yes, I'm stealing this. Also, I do love her and Sherlock discussing things. It's adorable and just makes me smile. Sibling banter is the best. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Ch 10-18: (view spoiler)[I love how he just backs up his sister no matter what. I'm also happy that they found Cecily and I hope Enola's plan works out. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 19-Finish: (view spoiler)[I'm wondering if we are going to see Cecily in the next book or not. I wouldn't mind it one bit if we did. I also really like how Sherlock is like "you wanna help me on another case instead of going back to school?" LIKE YES PLEASE. (hide spoiler)]
