Sherlock Holmes and the Stolen Jewels

Sherlock Holmes and the Stolen Jewels is a graded Reader for CEFR A1 learners in the Helbling Readers Red Series. Geraldine Sweeney adapts two Arthur Conan Doyle cases: in "The Blue Carbuncle", a precious stone turns up inside a Christmas goose; in "The Beryl Coronet", a broken golden coronet leads to a false accusation against a banker's son. The short-story format keeps the pace tight, with Watson narrating from 221B Baker Street. The book has colour illustrations, before and after reading tasks, vocabulary work, exam-style practice, and British-English audio through the Helbling Media App. It also suits class work on deduction, question words, and short mystery writing.
