Well, I enjoy informational books and I remember loving the Encyclopedia Brown books, so I picked this up at the Goodwill store when I was last there thinking my future son might enjoy it.
I read it earlier (a break in the world of Pern [b:The Renegades of Pern|20082|The Renegades of Pern|Anne McCaffrey|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1283622741s/20082.jpg|555]) and had a little fun. I even busted out laughing so hard I almost dropped the book when I reached this:
"When a passenger of foot heave in sight, tootle the horn. Trumpet at him melodiously first, but if he still obstacles your passage, then tootle him with vigor."
Aaaahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!! Tootle him with vigor! Still laughing!
This book is essentially a small collection of interesting stories about cars with a mini Encyclopedia Brown story at the beginning of the book. As always, he solves the mystery with his trivia knowledge. :-p

This book focuses entirely on weird car facts from history. There is only one Encyclopedia Brown mystery at the very beginning, which was disappointing.
I think that boys would enjoy reading the funny and strange facts about cars!
