Main Characters - The main characters are Encyclopedia Brown and his friend Sally. Encylopedia is a kid detective and she helps him try to solve the mysteries.

Setting - Encyclopedia lives in Idaville on Rover Avenue. The crimes happened at different places in Idaville.

Plot - The book is about how Encyclopedia Brown helps his dad who is the Chief of Police solve crimes. When his dad comes home from work he tells Encyclopedia about a crime when they are eating supper and asks for his help to get it solved. Encyclopedia usually gets it solved pretty quick. Each chapter tells about a different crime that happened. Some of the crimes were about how Bugs Meany stole a round pizza, how Chuck and Tom stole the Orson tree, and how Wilford lied about worm pills. The answer to each of the mysteries is in the back of the book.

Evaluation - I really liked the book and how each chapter had a different mystery instead of just one long mystery. I also liked how they didn't say the answer in the chapter but you could try to figure it out and then look in the back of the book to see if you were right. I think anyone who likes to read detective books will like this.
