BASKERVILLE HALL 1 IMPROBABLE TALES PB STANDISH

The Mysterious Benedict Society meets The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes in this middle grade adventure series written by award-winning author Ali Standish. This commercial, action-packed mystery created in partnership with Working Partners and the Arthur Conan Doyle Estate is set in a secret school for extraordinarily gifted children hidden away from the real world, and is brimming with intrigue and charismatic characters. 

What if young Arthur Conan Doyle really went to a secret school for extraordinarily gifted children called Baskerville Hall? When a mysterious man with a pipe notices young Arthur’s incredible deductive skills, Arthur’s offered a spot at the esteemed Baskerville Hall and a chance to lift his family out of poverty. There Arthur makes quick friends with Irene Eagle, a girl who boldly strides into any adventure, and Jimmie Moriarty, a boy whose brilliance rivals Arthur’s own. But he makes enemies, too, who want Arthur expelled . . . or worse.

Soon Arthur and his friends (and enemies!) are invited into a powerful secret society called the Clover. In order to be accepted into the illustrious social club, they must pass three tests, but along the way Arthur uncovers a mystery that will lead to grand adventure . . . and even greater danger. Arthur will need all the help he can get to solve the puzzle and keep a shocking truth from falling into the wrong hands. Meanwhile, he will finally meet the man who becomes his greatest mentor: Professor Sherlock Holmes.
