Customer Reviews

Great Book

Encyclopedia Brown is a great character. I think the books are good for both boys and girls. I read them as a child and I loved them. They help to develop problem solving skills AND they are good stories.

An enjoyable book

The book was nice to read and the mysteries were kind of "always happening" like not so big mysteries, but some were tough to solve and I enjoyed reading this book.
