Pre-Owned Encyclopedia Brown: Encyclopedia Brown : Boy Detective (Series #01) (Hardcover)

Whenever ten-year-old Leroy (nicknamed "Encyclopedia") Brown's father, Chief of Police of Idaville, had a difficult case, Encyclopedia always managed to solve it at the dinner table. So, he decided to open his own detective agency. "A sure-fire recipe--some school-boy wit, a little slapstick, a whodunit, and a puzzle."--"Christian Science Monitor." Fifth-grader Encyclopedia Leroy Brown solves ten mysteries and, by putting the solutions at the back of the book, challenges the reader to do the same.
