Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the Secret Pitch Review
I absolutely loved the Encyclopedia Brown Series growing up. I read and reread them so much people called me Encyclopedia Jones. Actually, I did get pretty good at helping people find things. Too bad I didn't charge 25 cents!
This book, like all of Donald J. Sobol's Encyclopedia Brown books, makes you think, and pay attention, but each case is lots of fun. Leroy Brown, son of the chief of police, is the only boy detective in Idaville. He is so good at solving problems, locating missing items, and investigating crimes, that he starts his own detective agency.
Each book in the series has about ten cases. All of the clues needed to solve the case are provided in the story. The answers are in the back of the book. But what fun is it to peak at the answers?
I hope that any one reading, the Case of the Secret Pitch, one of my favorites, is sure to enjoy it, even if, like me, you need a little help from the answer pages.

Excellent short puzzles to sharpen the young mind - Charles Ashbacher - Marion, Iowa United States(cashbacher@yahoo.com)
Short puzzle mysteries are one of the best ways to exercise and strengthen the intellectual equivalent of the biceps muscles. Leroy Brown has packed so much knowledge into his mind that everyone except the officials call him Encyclopedia. His hobby is solving simple mysteries and his base charge is twenty-five cents.
This book is a collection of short mysteries presented to Encyclopedia and of course he comes through on all of them. The mystery ranges from kidnapping to bank robbery to the petty crimes and misdemeanors committed by children and all are simple enough for children to solve. Solutions to the puzzles are included at the end.
Written at the level of the young child, this book is a delight for the young mind looking for challenges and intellectual stimulation.
Entertaining Mystery - Lisa Boyle - Colorado USA
The Encyclopedia Brown books are an entertaining read for child mystery lovers. Short stories with figuring out who-done-it at the end of each. The answers are in the back of the book, along with an explanation, to see if your guess is correct.
Fun Book - LJ - Draper, Ut
This is one of the better children's books my kids have read. Just right for my 7-year old who likes to read, but needs something great to get all the way through a book without being prodded. Very fun.
