The Encyclopedia Brown books are an entertaining read for child mystery lovers. Short stories with figuring out who-done-it at the end of each. The answers are in the back of the book, along with an explanation, to see if your guess is correct.
This is one of the better children's books my kids have read. Just right for my 7-year old who likes to read, but needs something great to get all the way through a book without being prodded. Very fun.
I absolutely loved the Encyclopedia Brown Series growing up. Leroy Brown, son of the chief of police, is the only boy detective in Idaville. Each book in the series has about ten cases. Actually, I did get pretty good at helping people find things. The answers are in the back of the book. Too bad I didn't charge 25 cents. I read and reread them so much people called me Encyclopedia Jones. He is so good at solving problems, locating missing items, and investigating crimes, that he starts his own detective agency.
This book, like all of Donald J. Sobol's Encyclopedia Brown books, makes you think, and pay attention, but each case is lots of fun. All of the clues needed to solve the case are provided in the story. But what fun is it to peak at the answers.I hope that any one reading, the Case of the Secret Pitch, one of my favorites, is sure to enjoy it, even if, like me, you need a little help from the answer pages.
He still solves them for his dad(chief of police)and has his own detective agency. Leroy's back. Ten all new cases. 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 is a good book.The cases are about a secret pitch,a balloon man accused of kidnapping,a cowboy that's ambushed,stolen gold,a hitchhiker who is a witness to a holdup gang,a boy poet who gets in a fight,a boy who gets shot by an air gun,a stolen penknife named Excalibur,a man who gts tricked out of his violin by a glass of ginger ale,and a stolen bike.
