In Encyclopedia Brown, Boy Detective, a Civil War sword, a watermelon stabbing, missing roller skates, a trapeze artist's inheritance and an eyewitness who's legally blind!

In Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the Secret Pitch, a cross-eyed baseball pitcher, a missing penknife named Excalibur, poems that pack a punch, a kid-lover turned kidnapper and some tall tales that come up short!

These are just some of the brain-twisting mysteries that Encyclopedia Brown must solve by using his famous computer-like brain.

Try to crack the cases along with him!

feel good mystery

These short mysteries are great for the younger listener (5-8). Even after hearing the stories a few times, my 2 still like to accompany Encyclopedia on his detective work. Good narrator.

Lots of Fun

We love this selection! It's fun for our seven year old and her little brother (age 5). If you want to be interactive they have paused between the mystery and the solution -- so you can stop the story for a discussion. Great for repeat listenings. Good narration and sound quality.

Fun for everyone

I thought these might be too old fashioned or quaint for my 10 year old. He likes more modern stuff like Harry Potter, Percy Jackson , Disney shows with kids cracking one liner jokes. But he quickly got fascinated with trying to solve the mysteries !! He kept asking me to pause it so he could figure it out - and we would discuss and interact. He ended up loving this series. It was also a great way to introduce him to a different genre than all the fantasy stuff that dominates kids fiction right now. We enjoy that but I liked the idea of him getting a taste for detective fiction ! The audio format does a great job of giving you a verbal clue to pause and solve the mystery. The voice is good as well. Lots of fun !

My Son loved solving the mysteries

Great thing about Encyclopedia Brown is that they're all bite-sized stories that can draw in the reluctant reader. Kids love the good vs. bad aspect, all done in a fun, thought-provoking way. Each case provides a chance for a child to challenge themselves, as they try to figure out which clues point to the solution to the crime.

This is a good book because the mysteries are interesting and advanced. I love this book so much. I liked two better than one because it had more mysteries. Don't let anybody get this book but us!
