Told from Watson's perspective, the books chronicle the thrills of living with Holmes, the world's only consulting detective. Through ridiculously accurate observation, attention to detail, uncommon knowledge, and logic, Sherlock can size a man up and tell you his life story just minutes after you've introduced him. When the police of London are stumped, Holmes is on the case.

Ender's Game
-This series follows the story of Ender Wiggin, a boy hopefully destined to become a brilliant general and the savior of earth. After the first story, which you can read about in my earliest reviews, the series takes Ender on a journey to new worlds to make sure that history's mistakes aren't repeated.
-I like this series because it's an epic story of progress and I think that the way that Card writes and describes the battles and strategy is very thorough.

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events
-after their parents are killed in a horrible fire, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are carted from guardian to guardian while trying to keep the greedy Count Olaf from stealing their family fortune and make sense of the mysteries around them.
-I grew up on this series. It lasted me through grade school. The story is enthralling, and in hindsight i probably took it too seriously. Along with a great plot, the author is constantly teaching you things like definitions or sciencey wiency facts in the most backhanded ways. The 13 book story arc can easily be split into sections if you're not a big reader.
