Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
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!
The case of the secret pitch -- The case of the balloon man -- The case of the ambushed cowboy -- The case of the forgetful sheriff -- The case of the hungry hitchhiker -- The case of the two-fisted poet -- The case of the wounded toe -- The case of Excalibur -- The case of the glass of ginger ale -- The case of the stomach puncher.
Fifth-grader "Encyclopedia" Leroy Brown solves ten mysteries and, by putting the solutions at the back of the book, challenges the reader to do the same.
Ages 7 and up.
