“Enola Holmes is smart, fun, witty, exciting, and empowering. It’s an encouraging and engaging coming of age journey of a young lady in a time in history that does it’s best to not allow her independence, yet women young and old will find Enola’s journey and obstacles extremely relatable. The story is extremely well-written, the cinematography is attention-grabbing, and the many overlapping mysteries keep you guessing. I really can’t say enough great things about this movie. If you haven’t seen it yet – you should!” said Crystal Moyer, a teacher at Liberty High School.

Enola Holmes was originally a book series written by Nancy Springer. There are six books in the series that were written from 2006 through 2010. She was going to write Enola Holmes as the daughter of Sherlock, but the idea got rejected by the editor, Michael Green. He said the idea was good but they didn’t like the daughter aspect. So she reconsidered another option, a sister. Green likes the idea of giving Sherlock and Mycroft a little sister.  And from that, there were six books, The Case of the Missing Marquess, The Case of the Left-Handed Lady, The Case of the Bizarre Bouquets, The Case of the Peculiar Pink Fan, The Case of the Cryptic Crinoline, The Case of the Gypsy Goodbye.

Enola Holmes is an amazing movie, anyone who has watched it can tell you that. It has adventure, mystery, danger, and much more. It is a very powerful movie that really focuses on woman’s rights, while still being an action-filled movie.
