This classic chapter book features Leroy "Encyclopedia" Brown, a brilliant ten-year-old who runs his own detective agency. Each book contains multiple self-contained mysteries, often involving his police chief father, his friend and bodyguard Sally Kimball, or local bullies and con artists. The unique "solve-it-yourself" format encourages critical thinking and observation, as readers are challenged to find the logical inconsistency in each case before turning to the solutions section. It's an engaging way to build reading comprehension and deductive reasoning skills for children aged 7-11.
