From a jewel heist at Kennel Palace to a vanishing magician in Egypt, a haunted castle in the Catpathian Mountains, a masked villain terrorizing Manhattan, and a suspicious disappearance on a train to Paris, each book pairs a fast-moving whodunit with search-and-find puzzles, mazes, and riddles. Illustrated throughout by John Bigwood, the set is a fun, interactive gateway into mystery reading for young sleuths who love a good clue to crack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis five-book set gathers the complete run of Tim Collins's Adventures of Sherlock Bones series, a puzzle-driven mystery series for young middle-grade readers. Each story is narrated from the point of view of Dr. Jane Catson, sidekick to the brilliant Sherlock Bones, as the detective duo travels the globe solving crimes that stump everyone else. In the first case, the crown jewels vanish from Kennel Palace and the pair must work through a growing list of suspects before the trail runs cold. Later cases take them to the tombs of ancient feline kings in Egypt to track down a stolen mask, aboard a night train to Paris chasing a vanished magician, into a crumbling haunted castle in the Catpathian Mountains, and finally across the United States chasing a riddle-obsessed villain terrorizing Manhattan. Every book weaves over two dozen puzzles, including mazes, search-and-finds, and silhouette matches, directly into the plot, so solving clues alongside Bones and Catson becomes part of the reading experience rather than a separate activity. The brisk, chapter-based structure and consistent cast make the series easy to binge in order, while each mystery still stands alone for readers who want to dip in anywhere. With a witty, never-condescending tone and John Bigwood's detailed illustrations on every spread, the collection rewards careful readers who like to spot clues before the characters do, making it a strong pick for reluctant readers and confident young mystery fans alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete 5-book paperback set of the Adventures of Sherlock Bones series by Tim Collins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach title contains dozens of illustrated puzzles, mazes, and riddles woven into the story\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerfect for confident readers ages 7-9 (Grades 2-4) who enjoy mysteries and brain teasers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact paperback format is easy to pack for travel, car rides, or backpacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStories can be read in any order, making the set flexible for classroom or home libraries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA fun, interactive alternative to screen time that builds reading confidence and logic skills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook-by-Book Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSherlock Bones and the Case of the Crown Jewels — When the crown jewels disappear from Kennel Palace, Bones and Catson must question a growing list of suspects before the trail goes cold.\u003cbr\u003e\nSherlock Bones and the Curse of the Pharaoh's Mask — Aboard a night train to Paris, a famous magician vanishes, and Catson suspects foul play among the other passengers.\u003cbr\u003e\nSherlock Bones and the Mystery of the Vanishing Magician — In Egypt's tombs of the ancient feline kings, the pair interview traveling tourists to track down a stolen mask.\u003cbr\u003e\nSherlock Bones and the Horror of the Haunted Castle — A wealthy dog reports a ghostly figure haunting her crumbling castle in the Catpathian Mountains, and Bones sets out to prove there's a logical explanation.\u003cbr\u003e\nSherlock Bones and the Mischief in Manhattan — In New York, a masked villain threatens the police with riddles, sending Bones and Catson on a coast-to-coast chase to unmask him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nTim Collins is a British author originally from Manchester who now lives in London.
