Parent notes
This adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's stories offers middle-grade readers a clean and engaging introduction to classic literature. While Holmes relies on human logic and observation rather than spiritual faith, his desire to protect the innocent and uphold the law creates rich opportunities to talk about order, discernment, and serving others.
