In england in a place who called dartmoor, lives the dynasy(שושלת) of baskervill family for many years at the Baskervill hall. the story begins when there’s a tale of a curse in the family:

“a hundred years ago,baskervill hall was owned by a young baskervill our relative, called hugo like me, a wild and wicked man”. this hugo loved the daughter of a farmer who lived near them. and she stayed away from him, one day hugo kidnapped her. the girl was frightend and tried and eventually escaped. hugo got so angry and ran after her with one of his dogs. at the end both of them died because hugo and the hounds caught her and the hound killed them  both. so in the present in the book one of the family members Charls died in a weird way and some men think it’s because of the legendary hounds. now Charls’s nephew – Henry needs to move to the hall because of inheritance(ירושה) and he asked Sherlock Holmes fot help in the case. and now they’re trying to solve the mystery.

6- the charecters: Dr Watson-

From the book we can assume about Watson’s look that he has a pretty big mousatche and he loves to smoke  cigarretes. about his personality we can understand that he is very clever and trusts himself. he belives that Sherlock can solve everything, also we can understand he’s stubborn and curios to solve things himself.

Sherlock Holmes – we can’t understand much about his appearance but we know he smokes a pipe all the time and he always hanging around with a gun in his pocket. about his personality – he’s super smart and can figure almost every thing he gets. somtimes he is cynical and sure on himself.

the character i liked the least was mr. Stapleton. I liked him the least because his the bad guy in the story, he murdered 2 men and tried another man, he beated up his wife because she wanted to escape and tell the truth because her husband was a liar. and he’s clever so he made all this story hard and frightening.

7- recomandations: I am realy recommand this book for teenagers and adult too because the plot is very interesting and nice and she  very mature and can interest both ages.it’s very intersting how things will figure out at the end, and it  makes you feel like a detective and you really have to solve the mysteries and it’s really like you’re an assistant detective.
