THE IMPROBABLE TALES OF BASKERVILLE HALL (BOOK 1)

THE IMPROBABLE TALES OF BASKERVILLE HALL by Ali Standish

For those of you who know me or have followed this page for a while, you know that I love a good mystery! That would include Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. What a moment of joy it was to find a middle grade series with Arthur Conan Doyle as the protagonist!

When Arthur Conan Doyle is selected to attend the prestigious BASKERVILLE HALL School, a school for gifted children, he jumps at the chance. Most of the students have come from well-to-do families, and he sets out to prove that he belongs with the best of them. The school consists of five Circles of study: Iron (chemistry, engineering, etc), Dawn ( life sciences) Lightning (math, physics, astronomy), Spirit ( the unexplained - ghosts, fortune telling) and the Citadel (business and government). Each student eventually declares their Circle and joins the group. Outside of the Circles of Study, the distinguished school has a long standing secret society called The Clover. Only select students are invited to join, and they must complete a series of challenges. As expected, these challenges lead to a mystery that could cause Doyle to lose his place at BASKERVILLE HALL. Joined by his new friends, Irene Eagle and Jimmie Moriarty, Doyle sets out to solve what is going on behind the doors of this distinguished school.

HEADS UP- There is 1 swear word (no f bombs). As mentioned above there is the Spirituality Circle. They are on the strange side but a nod to Doyle's real life exploration into spiritualism later in his life.
