The mysteries are cool. ( This is why I gave it 2 stars.) There are ten of them in the book. When you are done reading the mysteries they ask you how Encyclopedia Brown figured it out. You can never figure them out. They don't give you enough info. This makes it not very fun! Don't try the other books. They all have the same problem. Just don't waste your money. ( I gave the one star for trying.)

They're tough and fun to read. I like black jack's treasure. It's about black jack's treasure and a tree with a mark on it. It's also about this kid named Wilford Wiggins. He tries to fool kids too.

We liked all the details in your story. We liked how you had a Disgusting Sneaker Contest. We would like to try this at our school. Thanks for such a neat book.

Encyclopedia Brown is everybody's favorite cook, in this case the food he cooks is a mystery. There is a mystery at the end of each chapter. He knows lots of recipes. One of the mysteries is the cake. Read the book to find out who takes the cake.

I recommend this book to people who like to read cooking books as well as a mystery story. If you get hungry as you read a cooking book, I recommend that you should not read it. It has lots of good recipes.

I read this one in two days and I usually don't read that much

I used this when I was in 6th grade and my family hasn't forgotten the meal to this day. Somewhere along the line the book disappeared and I have been missing it since. You can't beat those Lemon Buttered Green Beans!!!

This book is okay. Angie Zane, the main character thinks she is really smart, but she gets caught by the enemy 2 times. That doesn't really happen to detecives. Jess Berg, Angie's friend is a really fuuny character. My favorite part is when Angie and Jess are caught by the Wolf Gang. They get tied up, Blindfolded and gagged. Donald Sobol made this a really good book. A part in this book i thought was wierd is when Angie is tied up and gagged with dish towels. and she can't even untie herself. That is really pathetic. Remember, the parts of the book i wrote about in this review are not crucial to the plot. So you can still read the book and be suprised. Overall, this is a good book.

Angie Zane, the heroine of Donald J. Sobol's novel, takes Encyclopedia's brains one step further. In it, she gets involved in her sister's police case when she & and boyfriend are kidnapped. Along the way, her prowess in solving cases clearly shines through and unlike Encyclopedia, doesn't mind admitting that she solved it. Sobol's clear, concise style is great for young readers. Even though this book is a little more serious than what most Encyclopedia fans might be used to, this book actually sort of makes me wonder what would Encyclopedia be like if he'd stood up for himself more often? Overall it is a fantastic book and would be a great counterpoint companionship to any Encyclopedia Brown series book

This is number 21 in the popular series by Donald Sobel. Leroy "Encyclopedia" Brown, a winning fifth-grader, uses his powers of observation and logic to solve petty crimes and assorted other mysteries in his neighborhood. Aided in some stories by tough, bright Sally Kimball (look out, she hits!), Encyclopedia solves 10 cases here. The stories are formatted similarly: There's a problem (e.g., something is stolen, someone makes a possibly false statement), and Sobel mixes in a few good clues with a lot of dialogue and extraneous information. Brown announces that he has solved the case, and the reader is asked to come up with Brown's solution. Answers are given in the back.

Unlike some books in the series, all but two or three of the stories were solvable without special knowledge or assumptions. Our third-grader, who's quite the intellect himself, said that a few of these mini-mysteries were very hard; some of these stories are more appropriate for kids in upper elementary school grades. Each story is about 5-6 pages long; the solutions are about 1 page. The dialogue doesn't always sound very contemporary, at least not for those living in urban California. Close attention to detail will help the young Holmes in your house.

The bad part about it was it was exactly like the others and it can get boring.Out of all it was good.

I use this biography in my fourth grade classroom. It does a good job of characterizing Orville and Wilbur Wright -- you get a true sense of their determination and perfectionism. However, some of the information is very technical which tends to confuse my children. In the end, my students have mixed feelings about the book - some enjoy it immensely while others complain that it is hard to read.

Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk is a great book for kids ages 9-12. It is fun to read, exciting, and factual all in one. I would recommend this book for a great gift to a 4th grader.

I loved the book. It was cool how the stories were true. The stories were funny and were all fact. The only thing the book lacked in was how big the book was I wish it had been bigger because I really enjoyed it. I highly recomend it. I know I'll be reading of Brown book's.

The book was nice to read and the mysteries were kind of "always happening" like not so big mysteries, but some were tough to solve and I enjoyed reading this book.

You join Dr Haledjian the famous crimionlogist as he solves crimes, helps out Inspector Winters and friends. The stories take place in (roughly) the 1950's. The stories are simple and mainly projected at American children.

On a personal note: Since i've read the two preceeding books I wasn't impressed with the recycled plot lines.

YOU spot the clues...YOU match wits with famouse detective Dr Haledjian...YOU solve it!

63 quickie mysteries, filled with very tricky clues. Answers are given, so you can score yourself as a slueth. You are the detective!

This is a great book for ages 10 and up. You will be able to solve several packed-in mysteries. They are difficult when reading them but easy when you read the answer. I really recommend this book for anyone who wants to be a detective or enjoys mysteries.

This edition featuring Idaville's most famous detective includes a few mysteries that are rather challenging to solve. The challenge arises largely because of how long ago Sobol wrote the stories; solutions require knowing some quaint traditions or niceties that are not really part of today's society. Though perhaps a bit weak in terms of the evidence truly incriminating the criminal, the stories are fun and well-told.

i think it was very tough to solve the cases. but very cool
