Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the Midnight Visitor

Title: Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the Midnight Visitor
Author: Donald J. Sobol
ISBN: 9780553157383
Genre: Mystery, Detective

Summary
The story is about a detective agency helps its clients solve their problems. It was run by Leroy Brown, a ten year old boy and the son of the Chief Police of the town, Mr Brown. Besides teachers and his parents call him Leroy, all others called him Encyclopedia Brown. This is because Encyclopedia has knowledge of an encyclopedia. He basically knows everything. He helps his father solves criminal cases in the dinning table. Encyclopedia has a partner, Sally Kimball. They solve cases together. The first case they got is the case of the midnight visitor, a kidnapping case.

Review
The book filled with different cases. The level of the difficulty is different too, from a kidnapping case to hidden penny case. I liked it about the author did not reveal the answer right after the details of the case. The author puts all the answers of cases in the back of the book. I think it allows readers to spend some times to think about the answer, even rereading the details several times to get all the needed details to figure out the answer.
