"I think I identify more with KID SHERLOCK than hisliterary predecessor because I've actually faced some of these mysteries. Andthe art's as inviting as the best school bulletin board. A nice blend ofdetective work and burgeoning friendship, Kid Sherlock is a great read for thosein the midst of elementary school enigmas (or those still searching for clues)."(Paolo Rivera, Artist of Daredevil)



"Kid Sherlock is everything you love aboutclassic Holmes stories but with a whole new tone and attitude. A great way toget kids into comics and mysteries at the same time!" (Andy Schmidt from ComicsExperience)


As if the detective work isn't tough enough though,readers also see Sherlock navigating daily school life and the challengesinvolved in making and keeping friends. Between each episode, there are puzzlesand valuable in-depth tutorials for how to draw and colour great comics at home,too. A quick read that is suitable for slightly older children who canappreciate the more sophisticated humour.



KID SHERLOCK hits the magical demographic of being funfor me and my son. When one of the lead characters is a crime solving dog in anewsboy cap, you can't go wrong!" (Matt Kolowsky fromComixology)



"Kid Sherlock is everything you love aboutclassic Holmes stories but with a whole new tone and attitude. A great way toget kids into comics and mysteries at the same time!" (Any Schmidt from ComicsExperience)
