The Raven League by Alex Simmons and Bill McCay

Archie Wiggins is a boy just trying to fit in. He was just kicked out of a gang called the Baker Street Irregulars. These kids have always helped Sherlock Holmes and Archie has never felt worse. Then all of a sudden, the famous detective himself, Sherlock Holmes, goes missing. It is up to Archie and his new friends, the Raven League, to help find Holmes.

The book, the Raven League, was a good mystery story and has many plot twists. The characters are well defined and their personalities shine through the story. The character dialogue greatly exhibits their emotions and feelings. Some of the actions of the characters lacked details but other than that, it was a good book. I would recommend this book to any mystery-novel reader under the age of 13 who is looking for surprises.
