Description: Young Miss Holmes, the all-ages manga series for fans of Sherlock Holmes and Nancy Drew, concludes in this extra long three-volumes-in-one omnibus edition. Young Miss Holmes was selected for the 2013 YALSA Great Graphic Novels for Teens list. Christie Holmes is a prodigy. At ten years old, she's as familiar with the sciences and classics as any older student at Cambridge or Oxford. And her facility with logic is reminiscent of her uncle, the eminent Sherlock Holmes himself. So, what's a brilliant young girl to do when her parents are away in India, leaving her behind in the care of maids and servants? Solve mysteries, of course. Along with her giant hound Nelson, Christie's implacable curiosity leads her from one dangerous adventure to another, often joining forces with Uncle Sherlock and Doctor Watson on their famed investigations. Christie may look pint-sized, but her clever mind is never to be underestimated!
