One of my favorites: “A Study in Charlotte” by Brittany Cavallaro
In this very slightly altered universe, Sherlock Holmes and John Watson were real
people and Arthur Conan Doyle was merely their literary agent. It is now the present
day, and the great-great-great grandson of Dr. Watson – Jamie Watson, and the
great-great-great granddaughter of Sherlock – Charlotte Holmes, end up at the same
Connecticut boarding school. Charlotte has a few of her ancestor’s faults, including
drug use and emotional distance and a great many of his virtues – extraordinary
intelligence, biting wit and detective skills among them. The team pair up and the
game is afoot. I love Sherlock Holmes stories but this is also a great read even if you
are not familiar with the originals.
SAT PREP ON FRIDAYS
The YMCA will be leading SAT Prep sessions on Fridays in the Tyee Library from 12:301:30pm. The session series will include:
 General and section specific strategies
 Practice questions and explanations
 Setting up Khan Academy account and overview of resources

Students will need to fill out a YMCA registration packet, found in the library after
