About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is looking for a way to prove their cleverness or when you want to encourage active, critical thinking during quiet time. This collection of mini-mysteries invites children to step into the shoes of Leroy Encyclopedia Brown, a brilliant ten-year-old who solves the cases that baffle the local police. By presenting a series of clues and challenging the reader to find the solution before flipping to the back of the book, it transforms reading from a passive activity into an engaging mental exercise. The stories emphasize themes of justice and honesty as Encyclopedia outsmarts neighborhood bullies and helps those in need. While the setting is a classic, small-town environment, the logic puzzles remain timeless. It is an ideal choice for children ages 8 to 12 who enjoy logic, trivia, and the satisfaction of uncovering the truth. Parents will appreciate how it rewards attention to detail and builds a child's confidence in their own deductive reasoning skills.
