Reach for this book when your teenager is seeking an intellectual challenge or feels like an outsider who processes the world differently than their peers.

It explores the emotional weight of being sent away from home and the intellectual hunger of a boy who sees more than he is supposed to. Parents will appreciate how the story validates curiosity and logical thinking while addressing the loneliness that often accompanies a high-functioning mind. It is a sophisticated historical mystery that balances Victorian atmosphere with the timeless struggle of finding one's purpose. The narrative is more intense than the original short stories, featuring moments of physical peril and darker themes, making it ideal for 12 to 16 year olds who are ready for a grittier, more immersive reading experience.
