The above example is the only reason Enola ever gives for her not wanting to marry ever. That’s the only reason. Once again, if women are so cool, why is matrimony such a bad thing? She longs for the family and she yet maintains the desire to remain independent. It will be interesting to watch how she grows up into a woman she wants to be. Summary: Con sus más y sus menos, esta novela se lee en un suspiro y se agradece que en ningún momento se infantilicen los comportamientos de los personajes. A esto hay que sumarle que la autora sabe introducir bien en la trama explicaciones sobre costumbres del siglo XIX en Inglaterra, y aprovecha para hacer una denuncia contra algunas injusticias. En esta ocasión, lo que más se toca es la facilidad para encerrar a alguien es una institución mental, especialmente a mujeres, solo por tener actitudes “reprochables” o poco decoro. No se ahonda en exceso en el asunto, pero se aprenden cosas.

A heartily satisfying string of entertaining near-catastrophes, replete with narrow squeaks and spectral howls. Her deductive powers are also on display through not only deciphering the numeric cyphers from her family, but also understanding the language flowers and trying to picturize the person who would send such bouquets: Del primero me gustó sobre todo la primera mitad, la segunda fue muy diferente a lo que yo esperaba en base a la peli, y fue más infantil de lo que tenía en mente.

[with] an impactful message that you can do anything if you set your mind to it.” –Millie Bobby Brown, Stranger Things The force behind this adaptation and of the previous two books is Serena Blasco. She’s a writer/artist from France and Blasco’s work is really amazing. She blends ink and watercolors with a vibrant palette of pastels to bring Victorian Era London to life! Plus Blasco makes the mysteries very interactive.

In our villain we have an example of sibling love that goes beyond murder, but is also tainted with the inability to forgive. Mental Illness Category List – Best Juvenile".

La trama de la desaparición de Watson me ha gustado un montón. Todas las pesquisas que lleva a cabo Enola,me parece una prota muy interesante, y sus tejemanejes para que sus hermanos no la descubran... También me ha gustado cómo avanza mínimamente esta relación al final del libro. Aunque sea un pasito pequeño, es un pasito. Igual que el pasito que da Enola en su mentalidad con respecto a la desaparición de su madre, que aquí en los libros aún no se ha resuelto. a b Bhattacharya, Suryasarathi (2020-09-23).

You also get annoying tidbits like this: “I firmly believe that the whole reason women must wear long skirts is so that they are unable to do anything worthwhile.” First of all, Enola, you really think there is some nefarious plot going on to stop all women from being themselves??? Through skirts???? Please shut up. Second of all, this is in the middle of a chase scene. Can we cut the political stuff and get to the action, please?

Utichi, Joe (September 22, 2020). "Millie Bobby Brown & Harry Bradbeer On Crafting A Modern Superheroine In The Victorian-Era 'Enola Holmes' – Q&A". Deadline Hollywood. Archived from the original on 2020-09-30 . Retrieved October 10, 2020. Dr. Watson is the main focus, and that is as it should be. (although, since he’s missing, and the book is from Enola’s perspective, we don’t really see him a lot) Auch wenn diese Ausgabe um einiges düsterer als die beiden vorherigen Bände ist und man spürt, wie brenzlig es für die junge Nachwuchsdetektivin wird. Die fabelhaften aquarellierten Illustrationen von Serena Blasco nehmen der Geschichte etwas ihrer Härte. And this book was amazingly cool from start to finish! Mostly because this time Enola's full focus was on the case she was dealing with. And not without reason, because James Watson is missing and she did specialize in finding lost people, didn't she? And therefore this book contains a lot of scheming, planning, going undercover, asking the right and wrong questions and some action where our Enola comes very close to a dangerous enemy.Das dritte kriminalistische Abenteuer für Enola Holmes in »Der Fall der verhängnisvollen Blumen« wurde nun auch in einer bezaubernden Comicadaption von Serena Blasco bei Toonfish im Splitter Verlag veröffentlicht. Tra intrighi e segreti, Enola Holmes si ritrova ancora una volta ad essere un ragazza che dona una rivalsa per le donne in un'epoca dove la loro più grande ambizione poteva essere solo quella di partorire una squadra di calcio. Enola’s only clue is a very strange bouquet of flowers and plants at the Watson residence. Knowing that certain botanicals have hidden meanings, the youngest Holmes knows that there’s something not quite right about this arrangement. In her quest to find Dr. Watson, Enola’s sleuthing will involve uncoding a series of cryptic communiques, donning a series of disguises and travelling into the deepest, most terrifying location in all of London- the madhouse of Clooney Hatch!

In an earlier volume, Seth, Anaya, and Petra began growing physical characteristics that made them realize they were half alien. Seth has wings, Petra has a tail, and Anaya has fur. They also have the power of telepathy, which Anaya uses to converse with Terra, a cryptogen rebel looking for human allies who could help stop the invasion of Earth. Terra plans to use a virus stored in the three teens’ bodies to disarm the flyers, which are the winged aliens that are both masterminding the invasion and enslaving the other species of cryptogens known as swimmers and runners. But Terra and her allies can’t pull any of this off without the help of Anaya, Seth, and Petra. Although the trio is anxious about their abilities, they don’t have much of a choice—the entire human race is depending on them for salvation. Like its predecessors, this trilogy closer is fast-paced and well structured. Despite its post-apocalyptic setting, the story is fundamentally character driven, and it is incredibly satisfying to watch each protagonist overcome their inner battles within the context of the larger human-alien war. Main characters read as White. The relationships between Enola and her mother and Enola and her siblings are explored a little bit, but you’re left asking for more. There’s a part where Enola complains that men are idiots and that being beautiful will get you way more attention. Ich bin mir auch noch nicht ganz sicher, ob es von der Autorin eine gute Idee war, die Auflösung des Falls um den verschwundenen Dr. Watson im ersten Kapitel schon zu verraten oder nicht. Der Vorteil war, dass ich als Leser immer wusste, ob Enola auf der richtigen Spur ist oder nicht.Springer has also stated that Enola is partially based on her own life. She herself is much younger than her two older brothers, who left for college before she reached puberty. Springer, too, had an artist for a mother, who was talented with painting watercolor flowers. Due to cancer, menopause and an early-onset form of dementia, Springer's mother spent less time with her after she turned 14 years old. Further, like Enola, Springer "was a scrawny, bony, gawky tree-climbing tomboy with hair that needed to be washed" and was "solitary and bookish." [2] As with the other Enola Holmes books, although this is considered "Middle Grade" I caution younger audiences that this contains references to some more mature content . Particularly disturbing is a case of disfigurement in this book, as well as lunacy. It is difficult to choose a new name for oneself. Even more difficult, than choosing a name for a child, for one is confusingly intimate with oneself, whereas one is barely acquainted with a baby upon its arrival. If Enola is going to solve this case, she is going to employ some of her most clever disguises yet! After paying a visit to Mrs. Watson, Enola sees a very odd bouquet amongst the flowers sent by well-wishers. Enola is familiar with the language of flowers, and this paticular arrangement conveys a very negative message indeed. When she realizes that Dr. Watson might be in grave danger (pun intended), Enola springs into action. With precise characterization, fast pacing and keen observation, readers will be eager to learn what Enola will encounter next.
