Y si Arthur Conan Doyle hubiese asistido a una escuela secreta para jóvenes superdotados?
Arthur Conan Doyle es un joven brillante con grandes habilidades de deductivas, pero sabe que le espera una vida muy dura intentando proveer para su madre y sus hermanas. Cuando un encuentro fortuito le consigue una plaza en la prestigiosa --y misteriosa-- escuela Baskerville Hall, ve la oportunidad de sacar a su familia de la pobreza. AhÃ, se hará amigo de Irene Eagle, una joven valiente y aventurera, y de Jimmie Moriarty, cuya genialidad es comparable con la del propio Arthur. Pero también hará enemigos, como Sebastian Moran, quien está empeñado en hacer que lo expulsen... o peor. Pronto, Arthur y sus amigos son invitados a la poderosa sociedad secreta del Trébol. Para ser aceptados, deberán pasar tres pruebas, pero en el proceso Arthur descubre un misterio que lo llevará a una gran aventura llena de peligros. Por el camino, conocerá a profesores y compañeros que lo inspirarán para crear algunos de los personajes más memorables de la literatura, incluyendo a su mentor: el profesor Sherlock Holmes. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A tantalizing playground for inquisitive minds. --Publishers Weekly (starred review)

From the critically acclaimed author of Yonder and The Ethan I Was Before, Ali Standish, comes a thrilling middle grade tale featuring hair-raising adventures, new friendships, secret societies, and the mind behind one of the greatest detectives of all time: Sherlock Holmes. When young Arthur Conan Doyle is offered a spot at Baskerville Hall, a secret school for extraordinarily gifted children, he is elated at being chosen--and being given a chance to turn his family's fortunes around. There, Arthur makes quick friends with Irene Eagle, a girl who boldly strides into action, and Jimmie Moriarty, a boy whose brilliance rivals Arthur's own. Together, they discover that their new school is a peculiar place, home to leaning towers and unexplained explosions, prowling wolves and extinct birds. Arthur quickly makes enemies, too-- deadly foes who wants him expelled . . . or worse. When Arthur and his friends are invited into a powerful secret society called the Clover, they must pass three challenging tests to be accepted. But along the way, Arthur uncovers a mystery that will lead to grand adventure . . . and even greater danger. A delightful twist on the Sherlock universe. Hand this to any young reader and watch the pages turn. --Scott Reintgen, New York Times bestselling author of the Talespinners series At the top of the most intriguing school list, with Hogwarts and the School for Good and Evil. --Kathryn Lasky, Newbery Honor author Ali Standish's expansion of the Sherlock Holmes-verse more than fulfills the promise of its delightful premise. With its engaging cast of kid characters, tantalizing boarding school setting, and intriguing mystery at its heart, this is a book to lose yourself in. --Anne Ursu, author of The Troubled Girls of Dragomir Academy
