5.0 out of 5 stars Can't go wrong with Encyclopedia Brown ...., August 30, 2008

By	M. Pollard (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I remember enjoying these books as a boy and love sharing them with my son. Besides being enjoyable stories with admirable characters they are great for teaching reading. Solving the puzzles requires reading with attention to the details, logic and imagination. Sometimes young readers would rather skip difficult to read details but with these books they know they need to get each word.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for boys, August 17, 2008

By	Suzanne (NYC) - See all my reviews

This is a wonderful book for boys who like adventure. My son is dyslexic and doesn't like to read but is required to read 3 over the summer. It's hard to get him interested in any book, but he liked these, and they are a fairly easy read but still sophisticated enough to keep a 10 year old interested.

5.0 out of 5 stars Booking Grandma, November 9, 2008

By	F. Musser "in stitches" (Huntingdon, TN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have decided to be the book grandma, and this is the perfect starter for my 7 1/2 year old grandson. I am striving to get him as excited about reading as I did his mother 30 years ago.
