Synopsis

Includes Encyclopedia Brown, Boy Detective and Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the Secret Pitch.

Encyclopedia Brown looks like the usual ten-year-old boy. Actually, he is very unusual. Encyclopedia is a boy who really uses his eyes, his ears, and his head–and his head is full of facts. As for Idaville, where he lives, no grownup, boy, or girl ever gets away with breaking a single law there. That is because Chief of Police Brown's most difficult cases are solved by his son at the dinner table.

Encyclopedia Brown will keep kids guessing until the last page of each chapter book mystery.

But after the first little story, I suddenly recalled that there was a reason I had given them a pass. They just aren't my cuppa. (She persisted nonetheless.) I feel li......more

Junot Diaz mentioned this series as one of his fondest childhood memories. The reader is Jason Harris and he does a great job. It is very old fashioned and very cute. I am going to try to get Ethan to read one of them, if he hasn't already.......more
