Encyclopedia Brown books were some of my favorites as a kid. Decided to pick one up when I was having trouble focusing on anything else. They are great to read while you're trying to fall asleep at night. Each case is just about perfect to read and solve before falling off to dreamland satisfied you figured something out. Great beginning mysteries for kids and adults. See if you can crack the case!

Read this charming book for a class. Sobol really gets you thinking and some of the cases I didn't solve!

RATING: 4.5 STARS
I loved this mystery series as a kid, but have not read them since so this review is based on my memories. My love of mystery started pretty early and Encyclopedia Brown was among my first series. Each book has several mysteries that you can solve along with Encyclopedia, complete with clues. I could not get enough of these books, and didn't realize that this series started in 1963.
These are easy to read chapter books for young kids.

This early Encyclopedia Brown installment includes some mysteries that weren't ill-intentioned in the early sixties but definitely didn't age well, and if a kid is going to read through the whole series, a parent should be aware of and discuss the racial stereotyping in this volume related to Native American and Hispanic people.

Listened to the audiobook with Emma and Will. It was fun to get to pause the story before the solutions and try to figure out the clues together. Often I was able to lead them to the correct conclusions.
