Encyclopedia Brown Cracks the Case

By Donald J. Sobol

Book Overview

Since 1963, when Dutton published the first book in the series, Encyclopedia Brown, Boy Detective , the brainy crime-stopper has been a favorite character among middle-grade readers. Now, for the first time in twenty-five years, Dutton is pleased to present a brand-new Encyclopedia Brown mystery. Following the classic formula, the book presents ten separate mysteries, complete with answers that allow the reader to solve the cases along with the Boy Detective.

great book

our 8 year old loves to read this book series and everytime he gets a book gift card he says, "mom can I get an encyclopedia brown book?"

Great children's book series....

Our 7 yr old son loves this book series; we have bought MANY of them. This is each nights reading when we go to bed; we have to read at least 2 cases each evening, and figure out the clues. These books are fun reading, and actually challenge your kids to remember, comprehend and apply what they have read to figure out the answer to each case (and the solve for each case is found in the rear section of the book). Most boys would really enjoy these; I figure the girls would too, we just don't have any at our house to take a vote on that!!!

got to get it!!!

Encyclopedia brown cracks the case was great. This story was about a boy whose parents were detectives. Evrey chapter is a difrent case that Encycoledia solves. I loved this book. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves mysteries. Especially becuase it had a case that is solved by Encyclopedia in each chapter.
