Sherlock Holmes is recognized as the greatest consulting detective there ever was. His cases are peculiar, to say the least, but his instincts are always on point. Movies, television series, and a plethora of books share many of his cases, but may there be a case that we’ve not heard of? Well, yes and it has been brought to the surface for our reading pleasure. It’s The Adventure of the Peculiar Protocol.

It’s January 1905 and Sherlock along with his trusted friend Dr. Watson, have been summoned by Mycroft. A British agent has been found floating in the Thames. He was carrying a manuscript with the minutes from a secret meeting. Sherlock is asked to undertake this dangerous cloak-and-dagger case in an effort to trace the origin of this document. He, Watson, and a bewitching women board the Orient Express in an effort to uncover this conspiracy, but danger follows very closely.

Dino Dana, Dino Field Guide is filled with fun facts about dinosaurs and perfect for that dino enthusiast in your family.

We’ve all had those nights where we can’t sleep. Most of us will read a book or watch TV for a while, but not so in Everyone’s Awake.

Dad’s baking bread, Grandma’s knitting, Mom’s is tapping dancing to Prince, sister is trapezing from the ceiling fan, brother is in the kitchen juggling plates… it’s a very active house. But, will they ever settle? Will they ever go to sleep? With rhyming content and visually interesting image, kids will enjoy the family dynamics along the way. It’s a fun and silly read-aloud book that kids will love to read over and over.
