This lightly amusing historical period piece and mystery stars young Millie Bobby Brown (of Stranger Things fame) in the leading role.
As Sherlock Holmes' little sister Enola, a feisty and non-compliant teenage girl, she goes into the family business, as a means of escaping the oppressive plans and domesticated female role their older brother (as her guardian) has made for her.
Nicely outfitted with the latest in Edwardian fashion and surrounded by English period sets and scenery, young Enola helps win the battle for women's suffrage in Britain, while freeing herself from repressive social expectations, and tracking down the beloved but unconventional mother who had abandoned her.
Of course, there are plenty of other mysteries to solve, plots to uncover and prevent, and brilliant Holmes-ish detective work throughout. Recommended.
