great, brief mysteries....great voice talent

My 10 & 12 year old girls still love these books. When we're crafting or working with our hands, we play audiobooks. They love thinking through the storyline to hypothesize on the solution. Great vocal talent, too. The chapters/mysteries are brief enough to keep their attention, while the collection serves as a fun mental exercise at a good pace. EB stands the test of time!

Fan since 5th grade.

Likeable short detective cases. All the clues are provided. Just need to listen close. Fun.

Best book in california.

This is a good book because it is very intriguing. I love the mysteries because they're not too hard and not too easy to solve. The main character is interesting because he is smart and has a good sense of humor.

Review from my 11 year old

This has been one of my favorite books that I have ever read. It was filled with a bunch of mysteries and I loved trying to find out who did the crime before Encyclopedia did.

Nostalgic, but dated!!

Nostalgia from childhood, but a lot of this content shows its era. HIPA violations, fights and some other stuff that might take some explaining/discussion in a classroom. I haven't decided if my classes will be listening or not!

Challenging

Brings out the boy detective in you and challenges your ability to picture the scenes

Great resources for ESL!

Any additional comments?

For the sake of the students who are studying English, I hope all the series would be published.
