Another hit in this series. We are introduced to Rudyard Kipling and Florence Nightingale. Enola is very independent for her time and though she ruffles a lot of feathers, including her brother Sherlock, her determination to solve the mystery makes this so interesting. While a YA title, adults will enjoy this also.

For those who love the Enola Holmes Netflix movies starring Millie Bobby Brown, Nancy Springer's series is right up your alley. Enola is at peace with her more famous brothers, and has decided to live a happy life, going to school and still helping to solve a mystery on the side. In this novel, sassy and determined Enola is ready to find a missing American before the great Sherlock Holmes does. In doing so will prove her worth to the British author, Rudyard Kipling who is beside himself with worry looking for his co-worker from the States.

The character of Enola is written as a spunky and resourceful heroine, but in true transparency I found this novel hard to read at first because I just couldn't get into the vernacular used by all of the characters.

Thank you to NetGalley and Wednesday Books for the opportunity to read this novel.

This wasn't my favorite Enola Holmes story. It didn't grab my attention like the stories, but it was still fun to read. The cast of characters was interesting as always and reading how Enola figures out the mystery is always interesting to me. Each story has different side stories, but they always come together.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

Nancy Springer's Enola Holmes and the Mark of the Mongoose is a worthy addition to the Sherlock Holmes universe. I enjoyed the characters and plot and recommend this for middle grade to young adult readers--or adults like me, who enjoy a fun tale well-told.

This is an interesting mystery. The story was well written and I enjoyed the moments Enola out witted Sherlock as well as seeing the moments they worked together. It was a fun balance between the two. The characters are interesting and it was fun seeing a take on a historical figure in the mix of things. I did find the ending a little lack luster since it was clear where things were headed and this was the only part of the story that felt like it dragged a bit right at the big moment. Some aspects of the story also felt a little repetitive. That said it's still great and I'd love to read more of the series.

The Enola Holmes series is so much fun, very much continuing the tradition of the Holmes family of detectives. Enola is smart, funny, and engaging. I love that we learn more about her, her family, and the supporting characters with each book. Rudyard Kipling was a great addition to this mystery. Nancy Springer hits on plot, characters, and setting to bring together a great read. Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review Enola Holmes and the Mark of the Mongoose.

'Enola Holmes and the Mark of the Mongoose' was reviewed in exchange for a free eARC from NetGalley, apologies that it took so long for me to do so and thank you for the read!

In this adventure Enola finds herself on the trail of the missing Wolcott Balestier, American best friend of Rudyard Kipling and brother to Caroline Balestier; after encountering and dismissing her help in favor of Sherlock Holmes, Enola is determined to prove herself as much a detective as her brother taking to the streets that very night in search of kidnappers.

We get a brief visit with Florence Nightingale where there's news on a new doctor at war with a incurable disease and a mad dog on the streets of London. A women of many names behind a brotherhood of street men bearing "the mark of the mongoose" leads Enola closer to a truth stranger than a fiction imagined by Kipling.

I really liked the women introduced in this book (Caroline, Maud and Mary Erasmus/Ethel Etheridge) all three of them being interesting. I don't know much on Kipling/his character beyond what I once read many years ago in The Jungle Book or Just So Stories and have picked up secondhand over the years so on his portrayal or the accuracy or it I can't guess, it was entertaining.

I enjoyed Enola's dressing up and disguises and her Women's Club, as always, and it was a special treat to see Watson play a part too.

I love this series. With each book you get to know the characters in more depth. This is a wonderful series!

If you're going to write a book set in London in 1890, you've got to include some of the famous authors of the time. Or at least, you should. This brilliant author included Rudyard Kipling! One of my favorite authors! '
Our heroine is searching for his best friend, an American publisher who is missing. A wonderful story full of suspense. We get to see Sherlock Holmes again, always a treat. And we get to learn about the streets of London in a way that makes the reader feel like they are there.
Ms. Springer is an amazing author who brings her characters to life perfectly!
P.S. Can we meet H.G. Wells next time? Or maybe Mark Twain?

Best of the series so far, and I loved seeing Enola face off with Rudyard Kipling. However, I was disappointed that the case really didn't have much to do with intellectual piracy or international publishing machinations. I'm glad to see Enola keep growing up and forming a better relationship with her more famous brother.

A wonderful installation in the series that propels Enola's new life forward. The introduction of new characters, and the strengthening of relationships with the old makes this one that I can see being strong in the series. I look forward to seeing the next book in the series, and waiting for the new movie.

Thank you to NetGalley, Wednesday Books, and the author for allowing me to read an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

I really enjoy how Nancy Springer sets the scene for the Enola Holmes series. She gives wonderful descriptions of everything so you can feel as if you're there with the characters. It was fun going on another adventure with Enola and the mystery in this book wasn't too difficult to figure out, but it was interesting. Nancy continued to have Enola involved in some intrigue, danger, and suspense, but as always she throws some humor and snark into the book. I really hope they continue to make these books into movies.

I have been provided with a review copy of Enola Holmes and the Mark of the Mongoose from NetGalley for an impartial review. Ahhhhh this was just such a great read. I just didn't want this book to end and I was sad to turn the last page. I'm so excited to see what's next from this author.

Such a fun book! I'm a 40 year old lady and I really enjoy them. I think this one might be my favorite.

Due to St. Martins Press refusal to address the remarks made by their employee regarding Palestine, I will not be reviewing this book.

This in no way has anything to do with the author. But I refuse to support anything from SMP because of their refusal to address a major issue at hand.

Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this novel. Check it out! It is worth picking up and taking home for the weekend! Love Enola Holmes! Wonderful new addition!

Nancy Springer's Enola Holmes series continues to shine! My teen readers love reading her latest exploits while waiting for the next movie.

Enola Holmes is off on another adventure when she has her studies interrupted by a rude gentleman looking for Dr. Leslie Ragostin, Scientific Perditorian. Despite losing this job to her brother Sherlock, Enola persisted in the search for the missing Wocott Balestier. She goes undercover as a housemaid at the Balestier house, attends a ball to confront Rudyard Kipling at his fete, visit a kennel for rabid animals, and get kidnapped off the streets. But after all her adventures, Enola manages to be instrumental in reuniting Wolcott Balestier with his family and friends. A fun romp in 1890's London.

Thanks Netgalley for the chance to read this title.

While this book has all the genius of enolas stories i felt it lacked more action and danger that the others usually had. As well as the subtle lesson each one has held of independence, feminism, and freedom. I assume it’s because the mystery in this book is solved quicker and less dangerous .I have read every enola holmes book so take that into account. Nonetheless I’m excited for the next one!

Enola finds herself (though mostly she put herself there) embroiled in a missing person case, none other than Rudyard Kipling's best friend. But along the way, she finds mad dogs, secret societies, hidden scientific experiments, and dons a few disguises along the way.

This one felt different than the other books in the series. The rabies plotline was interesting, if somewhat odd, and the connection to Rudyard Kipling much the same.

There were some issues I had with the writing, a few simple mistakes or just annoyances that cropped up, like Enola being surprised by a motive for murder being money. She's smarter and more savvy than that!

I might be done with the Enola Holmes series. I've tried all nine, and while this one was more enjoyable than the last few, I feel like the characters are stagnant. I want more character growth and development for Enola and Sherlock (separately and together) and I'm not seeing enough of it to continue reading more books.
