Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6-More case histories from the 10-year-old detective. Encyclopedia Brown lives with his parents in Idaville, an ordinary seaside town, where his father is chief of police. He solves cases for his dad at dinner time, usually before dessert, and usually with just one question. Sobol's format is perfect for reluctant readers-the mysteries are short (about four pages), and the solutions appear at the back of the book. This series entry is sure to be a winner with Encyclopedia's fans, and should earn him new ones as well.

Encyclopedia Brown is the best!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the Two Spies (Paperback)
Encyclopedia Brown is a ten-year-old detective, for those of you who don't know that. He solves cases for his police chief dad, as well as the kids around his city. There's also Bugs Meany, the big, tough leader of the Tigers. And Wilford Wiggins, the high school dropout who tries to cheat little kids from their savings. And, of course, Encyclopedia's junior partner, Sally Kimball. She isn't just the prettiest girl in the fifth grade and the best athlete, she can beat up Bugs Meany! By the way, with Encyclopedia on a case, none of these "seemingly cool" older kids (not counting Sally) can ever succeed on even one thing they want to do bad (as in the good, bad type of bad). My opinion on this book is that it's great, but since any Encyclopedia Brown book would be the same to me, all of them are truely terrific.

Encyclopedia Brown - a good detective,
By A Customer
This review is from: Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the Two Spies (Paperback)
In "Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the Two Spies" there are some brain twisting investigations. And the answers are very elusive. I think that Donald J. Sobol has very good ideas and knows how to make them into mind bendng stories. I think it is a very good book.
