About this title

About the Author:

Donald J. Sobol was the author of the highly acclaimed Encyclopedia Brown series and many other books. His awards include a special Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America for his contribution to mystery writing in the United States, and the Pacific Northwest Library Association Young Readers’ Choice Award for Encyclopedia Brown Keeps the Peace.

From Booklist:

The venerable Encyclopedia Brown series keeps on keepin’ on. Ten new mysteries engage the boy detective, and this time out, many of the puzzles are easy enough for readers to solve on their own. Although the book tries to be up-to-the-minute (there’s a joke about why Encyclopedia is better than a computer), once you set a mystery at a soda fountain, a certain nostalgia factor sets in. Perhaps the clearest clue that this Brown is of a different era: the book has to explain what an encyclopedia is. Good for reluctant readers. Grades 3-6. --Ilene Cooper
