Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 3-7 Another welcome addition to the series of chapter-length mysteries starring ten-year-old detective Encyclo pedia Brown. The book's format is the same as the rest of the series: each chap ter is a complete case (there are ten here), solved by Encyclopedia Brown and left for readers to decipher. The solutions and reasoning used in each case are ex plained in the back of the book. These mini-mysteries are great because of the shortness of each case, and the solve-it- yourself format draws even reluctant readers to them. Gayle D. Celizic, Roosevelt School, Euclid, Ohio

5.0 out of 5 stars He does it again!, June 9, 2000
This review is from: Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the Treasure Hunt (Encyclopedia Brown #17) (Paperback)
Encyclopedia Brown does it again! This book was just as entertaining as the others! I originally bought this book for my nephew (10 years) and I ended up reading most of it with him! Needless to say, he loved it and so did I! He now wants to read more about Encyclopedia Brown and I can't wait to buy them for him!

2.0 out of 5 stars Fun, But So-So Writing, November 3, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the Treasure Hunt (Encyclopedia Brown #17) (Paperback)
I remember enjoying the Encyclopedia Brown solve-them-yourself mysteries when I was a kid. But as an adult, I'd prefer to see kids reading something with a little more writing quality. No characterizations, no drama, cliche descriptions -- couldn't someone do this genre better?
