Can our brilliant hero solve these mysteries and more before disaster strikes?

This thrilling collection brings 16 adventures of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most famous detective to life, adapted by award-winning children's fiction author Alex Woolf.

• The Speckled Band

• A Scandal in Bohemia

• The Red Headed League

• And many more!
