I was introduced to Enola Holmes in the first graphic novel collection, which are based on the first three books of Nancy Springer’s The Enola Holmes Mysteries. This collection adapts the final three books in the series: The Case of the Peculiar Pink Fan, The Case of the Cryptic Crinoline and The Case of Baker Street Station.

When we catch up with Enola at the beginning of this collection, she has yet to find her mother.

“And finding someone who doesn’t want to be found is complicated.”

In her first case, which begins in an unusual location (London’s first ladies’ public lavatory), Enola encounters a lot of pink. She also meets a man who’s the spitting image of Gomez Addams.

Enola’s second case involves a kidnapping. The victim? Her landlady, Mrs. Tupper. If you believe Florrie, the list of suspects includes anarchists and Jack the Ripper. Assisting Enola with this case is none other than Florence Nightingale. Enola makes a hasty exit.

Continuing with the Addams Family references, Lurch makes a cameo in the second case. I kid you not. The character’s name is Lurch!

In her final case, Enola needs to find Lady Blanchefleur. Along the way, she learns her fortune.

“I see a dagger in your heart and a raven on your shoulder.”

Sounds kinda ominous.

Enola discovers the price of fashion and deciphers the most important message of her life. I haven’t found anything Addams adjacent in this story. Yet.

I’ve enjoyed getting acquainted with Enola in these graphic novels. While I’m confident I now know the basics of her story, I’m keen to read Nancy Springer’s books to get to know her better. Hopefully by the time I get to the final novel the way the big mystery of the series resolved will only be a fuzzy memory.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the opportunity to read this graphic novel.

I once again ended up reading the graphic novels close to my watching of the second movie. Although the plots overlap to a minimal degree, there is a significant deviation in the storylines here.
If you have watched the movie, you would like to know that here, Enola more sensibly does not operate under her real name. She is still underage, and her guardians are still willing to reign her in if caught. The movie was great fun on its own (the lack of the Mycroft of this series definitely helped!).
The art in this series continues to be the biggest draw. The plot is coming together well, and if I had a full-size copy of the physical graphic novel, I might actually enjoy persuing the tangential information about flowers and codes that feature prominently in the book(s).
Enola is an enterprising girl who struggles to make her way in the real world without getting caught. Her mother is not yet in the picture, but we can see her getting close.
The mystery itself was quite intriguing, and the topics dealt with here were quite different from the first and had the adventure part as strong, if not stronger, than the mystery aspect of it all.
It is a different kind of read for a graphic novel. A lot of detail is included in the background and in the sides of the actual flow of the plot. It can be read multiple times, and I think if the series continues at this pace, I might buy it for my nieces with the addendum that this is not an actual Sherlock Holmes book because it does not stay true to the most basic characterizations of the original characters.
I received an ARC thanks to NetGalley and the publishers but the review is entirely based on my own reading experience of this and the previous work.

I tend to enjoy seeing popular titles get comic or manga adaptations. It's a rather interesting way to see the works and has an increased reach. I'm not a large fan of the art style but the overall story was well done.

The second volume of the Enola Holmes graphic novel mysteries draws young readers into the world of Nancy Springer's novels.

Great adaptation. Will recommend for acquisition for middle school and elementary readers.

3.4/5

It’s always wonderful to see popular movies or books be adapted into a graphic novel format. It further expands to include more people. Reading about Ebola Holmes is always wonderful and will make an excellent addition to any library. They come for the beautiful illustrations, and stay for the story, right to the last page.

First and foremost, I would love to thank NetGalley, the author, and publishers for allowing me the opportunity to read this advanced copy. Such a great adventure and art!. Recommended

loved this book! enola holmes is courageous, curious, and clever all at once! the illustrations were absolutely lovely, the dialogue witty and great, the storyline faithful and perfectly translated, and the characters? mind-blowing. loved all of them.

As always, this series brings me joy whether in a full chapter book version or graphic novel. I think the art style of this series complements the narratives perfectly. I love how Elona is depicted both visually and characteristically.

What I love about this volume: Enola specifically helps out females in need/dire situations. She also has to bail out Sherlock at one point.

If you liked the chapter books or the first volume, you won't be disappointed with this one!

"In Book 2 of the series, Enola is back on the case, deciphering clues and developing leads in each of three new mysteries. What she doesn’t know is that she, too, is being pursued - by her own brother! Once again, Sherlock Holmes' brilliant, strong-willed younger sister takes center stage in this delightfully drawn graphic novel based on Nancy Springer’s bestselling mystery series.

London, 1889. A woman is being held prisoner while she awaits a forced marriage. Another has been kidnapped, and yet another disappears...

As Enola seeks to rescue the three women, her brother embarks on a quest of his own. When Sherlock receives a mysterious package, he knows he'll need Enola's help to decipher its meaning. In the end, the three Holmes siblings will have to work together to answer the question that started it all: What happened to their mother?

Book Two contains three engrossing mysteries: The Case of the Peculiar Pink Fan, The Case of the Cryptic Crinoline, and The Case of Baker Street Station."

Interesting that they've renamed the sixth book yet again...

This is a great follow-up to the first graphic novel bind up. The art was cute and the story was faithful. I love how we get to see Enola’s disguises as the book describes them. It makes the graphic novel format so wonderful as the visual elements were well done. I know it is all visual but the artist turned the crazy outfits and made them real. I would recommend checking out the graphic novels if you are a fan of the series or just interested in the story.

I received an arc via Netgalley in exchange for a honest review.

This is such a beautiful book! We loved both the story and the drawings. This book truly is a work of art. This might be the most beautiful graphic novel book we have seen in a long time.
An added bonus for the story being about Sherlock’s sister, who somehow is always forgotten (just like it often happens with women and their stories). Everyone knows about Sherlock, but who knows about his sister who was equally awesome? No, not equally, even more awesome.

I was glad to see this second volume of Enola Holmes stories in graphic novel format. I wish the stories had been longer or even each their own book. There's almost too little of the plot to grab onto. But, enjoyable and I will purchase for my library.

A beautifully illustrated and told story. In true graphic novel style, the pictures tell just as much of the story as the words do. Enola has quickly become one of my favorite characters, and I am always excited to see what disguise she'll use next, and how she manages to get herself into, and out of, sticky situations.

Much like the first book I also read for NetGalley, this copy was also missing a lot of the story [the whole third story is gone - there is one page and then nothing for the rest of the book] which has made me realize that I just need to wait until they are published to read them as for whatever reason, the whole book is not downloading to my Kindle Fire for reading.

THAT said, once again [from what there was of the stories], this is an absolutely gorgeously illustrated, hilariously funny, well-written [and translated] graphic novel, featuring the pluckiest girl out there right now, Miss Enola Holmes. Miss Holmes is just as inquisitive and intelligent as her famous brother and even more engaging than he is. She is not afraid to do what she needs to do to get things done. I really loved how one of the stories had Florence Nightingale in it and am really looking forward to reading that one in full. Since there was even less story to read this time around, I have less to say about the stories this time around, but I will be looking at my libraries as soon as this is published to request and read it in full. THAT is how good these are [and hence the 4 star rating. What I DID read was just spectacular].

I think people of all ages will love these stories. Unfortunately, again I have no idea how it all ends up for Enola, but I can guess she lands feet firmly on the ground and her goals all met and she will be as popular as ever. Well done!!

Thank you to NetGalley, Serena Blasco, Tayna Gold - Translator, and Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is the second book and include stories 3-6. I really recommend reading the first book first, since this book is not a stand alone.

What I liked most about Enola Holmes: The Grapic Novels were the beautiful drawings. The colors and all small details really make this a pleasant read. I also liked the facts included in the stories, so I felt like I learned history and other interesting things while reading. I don't read graphic novels very often, but this was my cup of tea and if a third book will be published, I would definitely read that too.

I was so glad Enola Holmes: The Graphic Novels: Book Two was available as a Read Now on NetGalley because I enjoyed Book One so much! These appear to be the conclusion of the stories (hopefully just for now!) and the humor, found family, and female rebellion were just as enjoyable in these as the first book. Enola manages to solve her huge mystery and even a major familial issue. I cannot help but root for Enola! The art, also as expected, is very nicely done. These are a great graphic novel series all around and recommended for all ages! Five Stars!

This is a bind-up of several of Enola Holmes's graphic novels, adapted from the books (which, do bear in mind, are middle grade, not YA like the brilliant movie adaptation). The art is INCREDIBLE. I own the first graphic novel for the first book and I was still blown away by this, it's SO beautiful. There are illustrations which take up whole pages which are breathtaking, and I feel like the soft drawings really put an emphasis on Enola and her relationships with her brothers. The plots are gripping, very detailed and intricate (my favourite was the one having to do with the language of flowers).

A beautiful, beautiful edition, I can see myself purchasing this.

Endless thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book.

A nice introduction to Enola Holmes and her family. The family reunite and the questions begin to rise. This graphic novel set covers Ebola’s first three cases. The art work is amazing in colors. You’ll definitely enjoy some of the humor. The disguises are well planned. The nice bonus is how in each piece you’ll be learning so much about different flowers and plants and their hidden meanings. Plus, at the end, you’ll get so many journal entries with insights on how to gather information, clues, make connections and solve mysteries. Very enjoyable. I’m now waiting for the 2nd movie to be released.

Beautiful illustrations. I love the color scheme. The stories were quite interesting and enjoyable too.

Thank you, NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the eARC!

The first thing you need to know about this Graphic book is that it covers the events of book 4-6 in the original Enola Holmes series by Nancy Springer (so if you haven't read book 1-3 or the first Enola Holmes graphic book, then you'll need to do that in order to understand the plot and who the characters are in this book).

The second thing you need to know, is that I liked this graphic novel. The cases were interesting despite them all sounding a bit alike (the whole 3x missing women thing), and there was more highlights for me in these installments than in the previous three because of two things:
1) The questions I have about Enola's mother are answered
2) Sherlock is more present, and the last case is solved by the three Holmes siblings.

The art was beautiful, unique, and colorful. The parts of Enola's notebook after each case was also a nice touch.

The only thing I didn't like about the Graphic book was how rushed each case felt. That might be because I know that each case/volume is equivalent to a book with about 200 pages each. As it is a Graphic book, I know I can't expect the same depth as the books, but if each case had been given more pages, then maybe that could have solved it.

My thanks to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for the ARC . This review contains my honest opinion about the book.
