Leroy Brown is back in the next six books in the Encyclopedia Brown series. As Idaville’s ten-year-old star detective, Encyclopedia has an uncanny knack for trivia.

But his dad also happens to be the chief of the Idaville police department, and every night around the dinner table, Encyclopedia helps him solve some of the most baffling crimes. With ten confounding mysteries in each book, not only does Encyclopedia have a chance to solve them, but readers are given all the clues as well and can chime in with their own solutions. Interactive and fun—it’s classic Encyclopedia Brown!

I remember reading all the available Encyclopedia Brown books back in grade school, and have already started collecting them for my children! I would recommend these books to all parents with grade-school level children. The mysteries in the book are relatively simple to figure out, but they do make the children think, and it can be fun watching your kids trying to solve the puzzles!

These books were suggested for our foster boy who hated reading...well once he started he could not put it down! Great for weaker readers and action enough to keep them interested!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Thinking Book, May 14, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Encyclopedia Brown Takes the Case (Paperback)

The book is very good. I loved it. It is a thinking book becasue it haves crimes in it and you would have to think of what happened in that chapter. Then in the back of the book you would read it and it will tell you the answer that if you are right or not. I would tell other people to read this book because it is so good. The kids will think more to the book and start reading more and will start enjoying books. What are some of your thoughts of the book?
