Can U Solve This Case?!?!,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the Secret Pitch (Paperback)
Leroy's back! Ten all new cases! He still solves them for his dad(chief of police)and has his own detective agency. This is good for kids my age since it really gets your brain thinking. This is the second book in the series and it's just like the first one except there's different cases.I liked this and recommend this for anyone who: 1.likes Mysteries or 2.is ten years old If you read this book then you will like it too!

This review is from: Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the Secret Pitch (Paperback)
Encyclopedia Brown is a 5th grade boy who solves puzzles, crimes and mysteries as easily and as unconsciously as breathing. Each book is a series of short mysteries (5-10 pages each) ending with a question - usually "how did Encyclopedia know that X was responsible for the crime". The answer to each mystery is at the back of the book. Solving the mystery takes no special knowledge, but it does require paying attention to detail. Don't turn to the answer too fast. This book is the second in the series, but the books do not have to be read in order. I loved the Encyclopedia Brown books when I was growing up. I am reading them again before I give them to my nephew who I hope will enjoy them as I did. Adults who like this series may also enjoy the Lateral Thinking Puzzles books.
