Matthew LOVES Encyclopedia Brown! I like this one, but haven't read it. I just like it because they are holding a pair of sneakers just like mine!It's a fun series of books :) I remember after reading it I wanted to get my own detective kit so I could try out some of the tricks in the books! There were some neat stuff about codes, too. I also liked to watch The Hardy Boys about the same time I was reading that.

Oh we're BIG Hardy Boys fans around here! Just ask Rosie!
We're currently reading "The Great Airport Mystery". Now, this is not the re-done 1960s versions of the books...these are PHOTOCOPIES of the 1930 version! Put out by Applewood Press. I love them! They talk about now new and novel airplanes are and about Prohibition like it's a current event.
I get a kick out of them because even the ads are reprints! Tells you "Don't throw away the wrapper!" Because on the inside it tells you how to order more books!
Except it doesn't. Because it's from 1927 or so.
