18. Fun YA series about Sherlock's younger sister

Don't recall how I found this, but the books are by Nancy Springer. Enola Holmes, Sherlock's and Mycroft's 14-year-old sister has run away from home in order to prevent her older sibling from forcing her into a life of finishing school, dancing lessons, and the like, in order to live the life she wants, detecting and exploring London's urban sprawl.

The books are delightful! Enola narrates her adventures with wit and seems to solve mysteries even more quickly than Sherlock. I was unable to get the last book in the series, so I'm listening to the audiobook, which makes me wonder why I bothered reading any of them -- the narration, by the sadly passed-on Katherine Kellgren, is hllarious!

AND there's going to be a movie! This fall, on Netflix, starring Millie Bobby Brown, Henry Cavill, and Helena Bonham Carter.
