Sherlock Bones and his reliable partner, Watts, are renowned for their exceptional sleuthing skills. However, when the notorious Royal Blue Diamond is stolen, the museum faces the threat of closure. On the same day, a shady raccoon with a penchant for shiny objects and chocolates appears. Even the museum guard behaves suspiciously. It’s now up to Sherlock Bones and Watts to identify the culprit and recover the stolen diamond.

I highly recommend this graphic novel as it is an exciting and fast-paced mystery book. The panels are large and in monochrome, and the drawings are well done, resembling The Bad Guys series.
Grace, the raccoon character, is hilarious and my favorite due to her amusing behavior. Being a raccoon lover, I found her character very endearing. Watts, the plush bird, is also quite funny. Meanwhile, Sherlock Bones, a Tawny Frogmouth skeleton, has been designed to make him act like a real character, adding to the humor of the book.
The museum setting is beautifully depicted, and I would love to visit the museum.

Give this graphic novel to any young reader who wants a good laugh!
