Bookroo's summary

Meet Encyclopedia Brown, a ten-year-old detective with a talent for solving mysteries. From a missing butterfly brooch to stolen Confederate stamps, each case challenges his sharp mind. With his police chief dad's cases and neighborhood puzzles, Encyclopedia invites you to join him in cracking the clues. Can you solve the mysteries before he does? Dive into ten intriguing cases and test your detective skills alongside Idaville's brightest young sleuth.

From the publisher

Since 1963, when Dutton published the first book in the series, “Encyclopedia Brown, Boy Detective, “ the brainy crime-stopper has been a favorite character among middle-grade readers. Now, for the first time in twenty-five years, Dutton is pleased to present a brand-new Encyclopedia Brown mystery. Following the classic formula, the book presents ten separate mysteries, complete with answers that allow the reader to solve the cases along with the Boy Detective. Encyclopedia Brown Cracks the Case will be a flagship for the backlist titles, which Puffin will reissue in paperback on the same list with new cover art.
