I'm so glad that these have been made available as ebooks. This one is noteworthy because some of the jokey word-play begs to be read aloud to others. And because I came up with answers that worked, but weren't the 'real' ones. pfft
Two golden eagles mysteriously shot... A hypnotized lobster... A pizza parlor thief... A cheater in the state worm-racing championship... and a magician who hid his will before his final disappearing act!

These are just some of the ten brain-twisting mysteries that Encyclopedia Brown must solve by using his famous computerlike brain. Try to crack the cases along with him - the answers to all the mysteries are found in the back of the book.
From back cover: Idaville's secret weapon against crime is on the job again! But the amazing Encyclopedia Brown really has some tough cased to solve THIS time! Who's responsible for the senseless killings of not one but THREE golden eagles? A stamp worth thousands of dollars is stolen and the only clue is a tiny piece of curved glass. And what's worse--it looks like cratfy Bugs Meany might really get even with Encyclopedia at long last! Join super-sleuth Encyclopedia as he brings Idaville's crooked characters to justice. You can find the clues, too!
