The world's most famous detective. The most brilliant mind in fiction. But before he became the great detective, who was young Sherlock Holmes?
Sherlock knows that Amyus Crow, his mysterious American tutor, has some dark secrets. But he didn't expect to find a notorious killer, hanged by the US government, apparently alive and well in Surrey - and Crow somehow mixed up in it. When no one will tell you the truth, sometimes you have to risk all to discover it for yourself. And so begins an adventure that will take Sherlock across the ocean to America, to the centre of a deadly web - where life and death are cheap, and truth has a price no sane person would pay.

Fun read

A big fan of Sherlock Holmes I enjoyed this story about Young Sherlock — Rebel Fire. Yes, to be honest there was a lot that could have been approved on but overall it was simply a fun, easy read.
I enjoyed how we get to know Sherlock as a young boy. His development of how the boy comes into his own and becomes the man is fun as we discover life with him. He is a little on the whiney side, so unlike his confident grown up self, always questioning instead of just going for it dragging everyone along with him. Bringing in his violin playing and bee keeping helping to bond the young and the old Sherlock was nice.
At times the dialogue wasn’t strong but it wasn’t horrific either. I think as the series proceeds it will sharpen but then maybe I am just comparing too much to the original Sherlock.
I was able to visualize most of the scenery or where they were at each step of the way. Some scenes were shaky but still good. I realized that even though a lot of these characters aren’t in the original books, they are here to set him up to become the man he is to become. Just as people come and go in our lives for reason if only to mold us into the person we are to become.
Overall I enjoyed this story and can’t wait to read the next one even if they are predictable at times. This is the second in the series and I am going to read the first one here shortly. Then go onto the next. Easy fun read to take your mind off of everything.

Young Sherlock is back
By John Cox
Andrew Lane's second Young Sherlock Holmes book, RED LEECH, is every bit as enjoyable as his first. This time Holmes is off to America in pursuit of dastardly Confederates who are harboring a living (but deranged) John Wilkes Booth. Not sure why the publicity doesn't play up the Booth angle (it's not mentioned in the plot blurbs, etc.), because this is a heck of a hook! This Young Sherlock book is less of a mystery and more of fast-paced chase, with many imaginative set-pieces and terrific action. Sherlock's time aboard the paddle steamer SS Scotia is my favorite part of the book. Lane has obviously done some excellent research, and his description of the ship and voyage really transports the reader. I also enjoyed Sherlock learning the violin during this section, and meeting a very famous German ballon enthusiast (I won't spoil it, but it shouldn't be too hard to guess). All the American locations are wonderfully drawn, as are the villains, and I really love that we get to see Holmes use his first disguise while in New York City.
My only (constructive) criticism is there is no puzzling mystery that anchors the book and motivates Holmes' investigation (aside from the living Booth -- which is not really treated as mystery). Yes, the villains do have a master plan, but their plan is not teased out with clues that Sherlock sniffs out along the way. As I said, it's really just a kidnap and chase, and all is revealed to Holmes (James Bond style) when he reaches the end of the line. But I guess there's nothing necessarily wrong with this. In fact, I think the core readership will love the fast pace over mind work. But one of the things I so loved about Death Cloud is that it had the mystery of the killer smoke at its heart. That made it a Holmes book. Something to think about for book 3, BLACK ICE, which cannot come soon enough for this (Young) Sherlock Holmes fan!

Here's hoping we see more of a teenage Holmes in the future
By Teen Reads
Sherlock Holmes has solved some of the greatest mysteries, battled with diabolical criminals, and basically out-thought even the smartest of men. It comes as somewhat of a relief, then, to know that at some point he went through puberty just like everyone else. Andrew Lane once again provides a glimpse into the life of teenage Holmes in REBEL FIRE, the second book that explores how the Holmes legend began. Most of Sherlock's adventures are centered on London, England, but this time he unwittingly becomes involved in a case that has an American twist.
The last thing Sherlock wants is his tutor, Amyus Crowe, and Crowe's lovely daughter, Virginia, to leave. But Crowe feels compelled to return to America once Mycroft Holmes, Sherlock's older brother, shows up with some troubling news. Apparently, John Wilkes Booth, the man who shot President Abraham Lincoln, may still be alive and in hiding somewhere very close. Naturally inquisitive, Sherlock takes it upon himself to investigate. With the help of his friend Matty, Sherlock manages to stumble upon a group of men hiding Booth. Of course, chaos ensues. After a minor mishap, Sherlock arrives back to tell Crowe and Mycroft that Booth is in fact alive, but fleeing back to America.
Crowe immediately makes plans to track these men, and since Sherlock and Matty are the only ones to see what they look like, they are invited along for the ride. On the way to the port, though, Matty is taken hostage, and it's up to Sherlock, Crowe and Virginia to help rescue him. This is easier said than done, and before Sherlock can even think about helping Matty, he'll first need to survive the boat ride to America. Apparently the group that is protecting Booth is not very happy that someone has stumbled upon their little scheme --- especially a teenager. Trouble is found in all places, and Sherlock has his hands full on the ship in the middle of the ocean.
It wouldn't be a Sherlock Holmes mystery without a mastermind criminal, and REBEL FIRE doesn't disappoint in that department. Let's just say that blood-sucking leeches are involved somehow, and I'll leave it at that. Despite Sherlock's initial focus of just finding Matty, he soon becomes embroiled in a much larger scheme of a few leaders from the South hoping to restart the devastating American Civil War. It's going to take all of Sherlock's ingenuity, smarts and willpower to escape unscathed this time.
It's not very often that you get the chance to see the origins of legendary characters such as Sherlock Holmes, and the Conan Doyle Estate certainly believes that Andrew Lane's storytelling has done a credible job of bringing a young Holmes to life. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, apparently, as it is interesting to see the interplay between Sherlock and Mycroft and where Sherlock might have picked up a few of his tricks of perception. Lane also stays true to the fact that Holmes will put himself in the midst of any mystery, even if it means danger, in order to save the day. Here's hoping we see more of teenage Holmes in the future.
