Read carefully or you will miss the clues
Leroy (Encyclopedia) Brown is a ten-year old boy who solves simple mysteries in his neighborhood. His specialty is using his vast knowledge to find the inconsistency in people's statements or actions to solve the puzzle. This book contains ten of his most difficult cases.

Funny
The book goes through strange and funny but true crimes. It is a great book or any age although it was wrote for kids.

Encylopedia's the coolest!
THIS Leroy Brown is the "baddest" detective in the whole darn town.Idaville is the only crime-free city in the country, and Encyclopedia is the reason.Always a big fan of mysteries and detectives for any age, I have to rank Encylopedia among my favorites.As a kid, I felt challenged to be more observant after Encylopedia beat me to the answer over and over.I find not much has changed as an adult, and I love it!With several short cases in the book, younger readers will find it easy to keep up - none of that putting the book down and coming back to it a little lost about where you were in the story.Older readers will only find themselves disappointed that the book came to an end!That, and they were outsmarted by a kid. ...

good, like all the Encyclopedia Brown books
For those unacquainted with Encyclopedia Brown books, each book consists of short stories in which the title hero solves a mystery.Each story gives all the clues.The reader is challenged to come to match that solution given in the back of the book.
