Another great Encyclopedia Brown book. A good variety of difficulty in the mysteries. I am not entirely sure what Sally's role is, since I find she is not mentioned often. Hopefully she will pull more focus as the series continues.

Encyclopedia Brown Can't say enough good things about this series. Written for kids but still a great read for adults on a nostalgia kick.

Found this in a friend's house and decided to test myself on the mysteries, as I could never solve any of them when I was kid. Batted about 80% this time. I feel ok about it

Neo and I finished the third collection of Encyclopedia Brown mysteries. These stories allow the reader to see both Encyclopedia and his father, Chief Brown, in action as they solve crimes and expose all the criminals. In this collection, Encyclopedia looks into a missing statue that a movie actress says was stolen, a priceless diamond necklace taken from a local jeweller, and even claims that the local bully was kidnapped. These five-minute mysteries are perfect for any time of day, though Neo and I found them perfect for a before bedtime stumping. Some stories have easy answers, while others left Neo and I scratching our heads! Great reading for people of all ages, particularly those who are closet sleuths.
Neo mentioned that he really likes the stories, as they keep him thinking. I remember these stories were read to me when I was young as well, helping me become the problem solver I have become. He thoroughly enjoys listening to the stories and making an effort to uncover the clues that will help solve the cases. He mentioned that these are perfect stories for parent-child reading, but would be great for a good reader when they have time or are on a road trip.
