Synopsis

Nancy Springer's nationally bestselling series and breakout Netflix sensation is back! Enola Holmes is on the case, when a young porter - the boy in buttons - disappears without a trace.

Enola Holmes, the much younger sister of Sherlock and Mycroft, owns a building in the heart of 19th century London, a place she uses under pseudonyms to front for her investigative work. Employed there is a porter - Joddy, a young boy in a uniform festooned with buttons - whose even younger brother substitutes for him when he's sick. But Paddy disappears after one day at the job and Enola Holmes is alerted to this by the still ill Joddy.

Determined to find the missing porter, Enola travels to the rough part of London where the boys live and starts searching Aldgate Pump area for the missing boy. When she finds the missing buttons - but not the boy - she decides that drastic action is essential if she's to save the missing boy.

Goodreads review by Anne on May 07, 2023

Ok. While I would not suggest that anyone spend money on this unless they are an Enola Holmes completionist, it's not a terrible story if you can (as I did) borrow it from your library.

Short story that left me wondering "why bother"? Ok, I absolutely adore the Enola Holmes series. It's clever, intriguing, and gritty in parts. However, this short story simply seemed to have no reason for being published except to remind readers that the new Enola Holmes novel is shortly being releas......more

Enola has her own building and hires a child to help keep the place clean etc. He goes missing. The leads just fall into place and she finds him the same day. It’s only 30 minutes long as an audiobook and there’s not much to this one.......more

Goodreads review by Chantaal on August 08, 2024

This was a nice short story, but I don't think it did much for Enola as a character or the world of the books. We don't learn a single thing here that we didn't already know/infer from the end of book 6. This would have made so much more sense as an interlude between books 4 and 5, or books 5 and 6.......more

Audiobook with my 14 year old. This short story was enjoyable but too short. It didn’t need to be a full length book necessarily, but it felt like it ramped up too quickly and stopped abruptly. This 32 minute audiobook should’ve been closer to an hour long to feel satisfying. We much prefer Enola’s......more
