Description
Sherlock Bones, the world’s greatest dog detective, and his trusty sidekick Dr Jane Catson are back for another crime-solving adventure.
Bones and Catson are visiting New York when the local police chief asks for their help. The city is being terrorised by a masked villain who is threatening the police with chaos if they don't solve his riddles. After thwarting a fiendish plot in Manhattan, Bones and Catson are hot on the heels of the mysterious criminal on an epic coast-to-coast chase across USA. Along the way, they take in Niagrowl Falls and scale the faces of the great dog presidents on Mount Ruffmore until the adventure concludes at the walls of Aldogtraz prison in San Francisco.
But there’s a greater mystery to solve while all this is going on. Who is the villain? And how can they unmask them?
The fifth book in Buster’s Sherlock Bones fiction series features intricate artwork and illustrated puzzles – including search-and-finds, mazes and number riddles – that are woven into the action, so the reader feels immersed in the exciting detective plot.

Advance Praise
“Award-winning author Tim Collins . . . uses a witty and engaging style to fashion this twisty mystery. His action-packed text provides plenty of clues to encourage readers to guess the culprit's identity. . . . Should have young readers brandishing their very own magnifying glasses. —Shelf Awareness on Sherlock Bones and the Case of the Crown Jewels
“Thirty puzzles, mazes, and games—illustrated with careful attention to detail by Bigwood (the Buster Practice Workbooks series) and sprinkled with droll visual puns—are featured throughout, providing readers with opportunities to assist in the investigations. . . . Collins (the Zero to Hero series) remains largely faithful to the source material’s spirit, serving up an energetic introduction to classic literary characters via a cunning, fur-raising adventure.” — Publishers Weekly on Sherlock Bones and the Case of the Crown Jewels
"A variation on the Choose Your Own Adventure format of stories. The book is scattered with diagrams, mazes and spot the difference picture puzzles, which all enhance the excitement of the story. . . . This is a good romp of a mystery." —The School Librarian on Sherlock Bones and the Case of the Crown Jewels
'A very interesting concept, slightly reminiscent of the 'Choose your own Adventure' books. This will appeal to key stage 2 readers, especially those who may have reading difficulties and encourages collaboration among readers, with one reading the story and the other solving the puzzles.' - The School Librarian on Sherlock Bones and the Curse of the Pharaoh’s Mask
