Editorial Reviews

[EDITOR'S NOTE: This is a combined review with ENCYCLOPEDIA BROWN TRACKS THEM DOWN.]--Modest 10-year-old genius Leroy "Encyclopedia" Brown comes to life in the brisk, high voice of Greg Steinbruner. His earnest, straightforward delivery is sprinkled with wry humor and occasional puns and jokes as Encyclopedia solves mysteries for his friends and his father, the police chief of Idaville. Each book in the series contains 10 mysteries. And in each episode a puzzle or crime is introduced, investigated by the hero and, after the listener is given time to puzzle over possibilities, the solution is given. There’s a mix of mysteries ranging from those solved by using common knowledge to those using esoteric facts. R.H.H. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
