Product Description:
Leroy Brown, aka Encyclopedia Brown, is Idaville neighborhood’s ten-year-old star detective. With an uncanny knack for trivia, he solves mysteries for the neighborhood kids through his own detective agency. 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 his most baffling crimes. And with ten confounding mysteries in each book, not only does Encyclopedia have a chance to solve them, but the reader is given all the clues as well. Interactive and chock full of interesting bits of information—it’s classic Encyclopedia Brown!
Amazon.com Review:
A Civil War sword, missing roller skates, a trapeze artist's inheritance, a ghost who whistles, eight stuffed penguins... Is there any case this kid can't crack? Introduce your favorite bookworm to boy detective Encyclopedia Brown, fifth-grade mastermind behind Idaville's police force, 'a complete library walking around in sneakers.' Each book is set up so that readers can try to solve the case along with the boy genius, and the answers to all the mysteries are found in the back. This introductory set includes four paperbacks: Donald J. Sobol's Encyclopedia Brown: Boy Detective (Book 1), Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the Secret Pitch (Book 2), Encyclopedia Brown Finds the Clues (Book 3), and Encyclopedia Brown Gets His Man (Book 4). (Ages 7 to 12)

Rating:  - A new version for kids today.
My 8 year old son 1st 4 in the Encyclopedia Brown books by Donald J. Sobol for Christmas but has yet to have read them. We discovered that they are "new" and the Volume 1-4 is different than the "old" Volume 1-4. He has loved these books. They are titled Boy Detective, Case of the Secret Pitch, Finds the Clues, and Gets His Man. As an extra bonus he was delighted to find out that his father had read these books too.
Rating:  - Outsmarting Encyclopedia Brown
People who like mysteries should read this book. The mysteries I think are very hard to solve, but the reader can try to outsmart Encyclopedia Brown.
The main character is Leroy, a.k.a Encyclopedia Brown. And there are a bunch of stories in the book. It is not funny, it is suspenseful, entertaining and surprising. The theme of the book is about Leroy becoming a boy detective. The main event that happened was figuring out how the knife got in to the watermelon.

Give this book to a winsome young boy and you might inspire a scientist. I loved this book as a boy and recently bought a copy for my nephew. I read it quickly before wrapping it. Wonderful stories even if they are a little dated. Enjoy!
