I found a bunch of these as ebooks on my library's Overdrive/ Libby!
This is a better entry than many because we are shown why the victims are misled... they're not just stupid suckers. After all, "you can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time...." They're also mostly good puzzles: no super obscure trivia or loopholes in logic.

As Idaville's ten-year-old star detective, Encyclopedia has an uncanny knack for trivia. With his unconventional knowledge, he solves mysteries for the neighborhood kids through his own detective agency. But his dad also happens to be the chief of the Idaville police department, and every night around the dinner table, Encyclopedia helps him solve some of the most baffling crimes. With ten confounding mysteries in each book, not only does Encyclopedia have a chance to solve them, but readers are given all the clues as well and can chime in with their own solutions. Interactive and fun--it's classic Encyclopedia Brown!
