About this book

Leroy Brown, aka Encyclopedia Brown, is Idaville'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 police, and every night around the dinner table, Encyclopedia helps him solve his most baffling crimes. Join Encyclopedia Brown as he solves ten of his most confounding mysteries, including a case involving a seven-foot-tall boy, the murder of a pet skunk, some stolen false teeth, and more. With the clues given in each case, readers will have a chance to solve the mysteries themselves! Interactive and chock full of interesting bits of information -- it's classic Encyclopedia Brown!
