Fourteen-year-old Sherlock Holmes knows that Amyus Crowe, his mysterious American tutor, has some dark secrets. But he didn't expect to find John Wilkes Booth, the notorious assassin, apparently alive and well in England—and Crowe somehow mixed up in it. When no one will tell you the truth, sometimes you have to risk all to discover it for yourself. And so begins an adventure that will take Sherlock across the Atlantic, to the center of a deadly web—where a friend is in peril and a defeated army threatens to rise again. Rebel Fire, Andrew Lane's exciting second case for the teenage Sherlock, leads the young detective to America, straight into the heart of a shocking conspiracy.

Gr 6-9-Sherlock Holmes stars as a teenager in this tale (Farrar, 2012) by Andrew Lane. He overhears a conversation that leads him to believe that John Wilkes Booth, notorious for his assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, is not dead, but alive and well in England. Booth and his cohorts catch Sherlock in his attempt to ferret out information and flee back to America, taking with them Sherlock's best friend, Matty, as a hostage. Accompanied by his tutor, Amyus Crow, and Crow's daughter, Sherlock makes his first visit to America to rescue his friend, and finds himself embroiled in a plot to overthrow the Union Army and reestablish a Confederate States of America. Listeners learn how he saves his friend, discovers the plot's mastermind, and thwarts the army's plan for invasion. Daniel Weyman narrates cleverly, lending authentic accents to characters of English, American, Irish, and German descent. This book, part of the first teen series endorsed by the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Estate, will not disappoint.-Amanda Rollins, Northwest Village School, Plainville, CT

July 1, 2012 In this second book in the series featuring a teenage Sherlock Holmes, the plot is even more gleefully preposterous, with Sherlock dispatching murderous foes on ships, on trains, and on the grasslands of New Jersey (it's 1868) and foiling a diabolical plot to invade Canada and establish a New Confederacy, with assassin John Wilkes Booth as its figurehead. Narrator Weyman takes Sherlock -- and listeners -- from England to America and from one perilous situation to another in a confident, fluid, riveting performance. He wobbles a bit with his voicing of American girl Virginia Crow, but that's a small quibble in a reading that's basically all forward propulsion and breathless action -- including gripping scenes in which Sherlock knocks a man off the roof of a moving train with his slingshot or hacks a giant and well-fed leech in half to distract two attacking cougars. martha v. parravano

Young Sherlock Holmes returns in this transcontinental adventure. He travels to America with his friends Virginia and Amyus Crowe to foil a Confederate insurgency and rescue a kidnapped friend. Narrator Daniel Weyman handles the nonstop action with aplomb. He speeds up his pace as Sherlock escapes death on horseback, ship, and train. Characters have unique voices and mannerisms, although all the Americans seem to share the same Southwestern accent--even the New Yorkers. Weyman provides an authoritative guide to an intricate story that covers miles of geography. His dry humor moderates the adventure scenes, and his deep, commanding voice ensures that listeners never lose their way through Sherlock's escapades. C.A. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine
