The genre of The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge is Fiction, Mystery, because it is a suspenseful story about a puzzling event, a murder, which is not solved until the end of the story. The target audience is Young Adult (3rd-6th Grade), as this text is a graphic novel so its dialogue can be compared with the pictures to solidify meaning. Also, the pictures are helpful to keep track of the characters and the overall context of the plot so that we can make predictions on who you think committed the murder. In addition, this book and genre requires more critical thinking skills than a fantasy story so the target audience is a little older. This is an excellent novel for young readers who love mystery books. The copyright date is 2013.
Making Connections:
~Text-to-Self: I can relate this story back to a time in my own life. When I first started reading chapter books, mysteries were my absolute favorite. I loved trying to figure out who committed the crime before the book told us. I wanted to be a detective, just like Sherlock Holmes, when I grew up.
~Text-to-Text: This book reminded me of the movie, Clue. Both begin by eating dinner at the host’s house and then a murder takes place. We and the other characters all try to figure out who could have committed the murder. There are several people involved who could have done it, but who did?
~Text-to-World: This story, sadly, relates to events that happen daily around the world. Everyday a murder takes place and authorities are left to connect the pieces left behind and solve the case.

This graphic novel re-tells Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic tale of murder and revenge at the Wisteria Lodge. Despite a cast of characters and portraits in the beginning, it is difficult to distinguish the people portrayed throughout the story. In addition, the format is so condensed that there is not enough time for the plot and clues to be fully developed to help the reader deduct any sort of hypothesis about the story.

Recommended for gr. 3-8. I was not impressed with this graphic novel version of Sherlock Holmes. I found the storyline somewhat difficult to follow, and there was at least one time period inconsistency. The rivalry between the local police Inspector and Holmes may be part of this graphic novel series, but in this case did not feel true to the original Holmes stories.

June 11, 2013Even with the graphic format, I don't think these books will be as popular with elementary students as a Scooby mystery. I do think it is a nice introduction to Sherlock Holmes for young mystery lovers. They are for Grades 3-8. I think they length is good because just as I was thinking this is getting too convoluted, they started wrapping it up.

While I enjoyed several of the other editions in the Sherlock Homes graphic novel series, this one was lackluster.
