Encyclopedia Brown Saves the Day by Leonard Shortall, Donald J. Sobol

4.0

I read this via audiobook, narrated by Greg Steinbruner. As a kid, I loved Encyclopedia Brown, and honestly, as an adult I still do. It was a relaxing listen, although Steinbruner’s narration was a little brash and his voice was not very soothing. I love the brain puzzles in these stories, and by listening to them instead of reading, it makes me pay even more attention since I can’t just flip back a few pages. (I could rewind but that’s not as easy. Especially if I’m listening in the car.) I DON’T like the newer covers for the Encyclopedia Brown books but at the same time, I get why they were reissued. Covers from the 1970s definitely date themselves for the “modern young reader.” I did like the original covers, though.
