Drawn from the popular series of YA mystery novels by Nancy Springer, this lively and engaging all-ages adventure charts the famous family tree of Sherlock Holmes from a distinctly fresh feminine perspective.
As we all know, the shrewd and sharp Sherlock has long enjoyed a reputation as the world's most dynamically deductive detective. Real fans will also be aware the fabled investigator has a comparatively mediocre and meddlesome brother, Mycroft.
So where does Enola fit into all of this? Well, as posited by Springer, she is the (much) younger sister of the Holmes brothers. Precocious in all the ways that point to a future in superior sleuthing, Enola shares plenty in common with Sherlock, and nothing at all with Mycroft.
Played most vividly by Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown, Enola has been raised solo by her eccentric mother (Helena Bonham Carter).
