[BWF] Enola Holmes and the Mark of the Mongoose by Nancy Springer 2 stars

[Karin]

I'm so very disappointed! I've given all of the other books 4 stars, but this book had several things I dislike. The first is having three characters who really existed involved in a story that never happened--I hadn't realized this was the case. The second is that now I can never enjoy The Jungle Books again because I hadn't realized just how misogynistic Kipling was (it's in the notes at the end, and she did convey that in the book.) The third is that I started to feel like this one was written for the money. Plus they've added a bosom for her (the actress has one, the character didn't in the first six books) so it would have been good at some point for her to acknowledge that change--there are girls who develop one that late, of course.
