Staff Picks (September): Kid Sherlock Volume 1 GN

Everyone knows Sherlock Holmes and John Watson are best friends. But what if his Watson was really man’s best friend? In Kid Sherlock from Action Lab, that’s exactly what you get. Already nervous about being the new kid at school, Watson also has to deal with bullies teasing him for being a dog. At least, until he meets Sherlock. Watson is immediately uncomfortable and intrigued by the quirky attitude of the mini-detective, and reluctantly agrees to help him solve the mystery of the classroom stench.

Kid Sherlock plays on everything readers love about the classic Holmes stories while inserting the characters into a brand-new experience: elementary school. The graphic novel blends detective work with a flourishing friendship, and touches on issues today’s kids can relate to while immersing them in the humorous antics of ridiculous crime solving.
