Donald J. Sobol was the author of the highly acclaimed Encyclopedia Brown series and many other books. His awards include a special Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America for his contribution to mystery writing in the United States, and the Pacific Northwest Library Association Young Readers' Choice Award for Encyclopedia Brown Keeps the Peace.
Gr 3-6-More case histories from the 10-year-old detective. Encyclopedia Brown lives with his parents in Idaville, an ordinary seaside town, where his father is chief of police. He solves cases for his dad at dinner time, usually before dessert, and usually with just one question. Sobol's format is perfect for reluctant readers-the mysteries are short (about four pages), and the solutions appear at the back of the book. This series entry is sure to be a winner with Encyclopedia's fans, and should earn him new ones as well.-Tina Smith Entwistle, Oakley Park Elementary School, MI
