The Baker Street Peculiars

The Baker Street Peculiars is a kid-friendly detective story with shades of Sherlock, but also magic. Three kids meet in downtown London, following one of the Trafalgar lions that seems to have suddenly come alive. They are recruited by "Sherlock" to help him deal with an excess of mysteries. The kids end up having to contend with a golem with a rather unfortunate shem trying to take over the city with other statues. It's an action-filled romp with fun characters. It didn't hold my attention particularly well, but I think it would be quite popular with younger readers.
