Shane Peacock’s Boy Sherlock Holmes series takes Arthur Conan Doyle’s legendary detective and drops him into his teenage years. Young Sherlock is the son of a Jewish woman and an English father, growing up poor in the rough streets of Victorian London. He uses his sharp mind to solve crimes that baffle the police, starting with the murder case in Eye of the Crow.
The series ran from 2007 to 2012, with each book following a new investigation while building on Sherlock’s growing skills and personal relationships. Peacock did his research on Victorian London, and the historical setting feels authentic. The books work well for young readers discovering Sherlock Holmes for the first time, and adult fans of the original stories will appreciate the thoughtful way Peacock fills in the detective’s backstory.
