Update on Encyclopedia Brown
When I reviewed Encyclopedia Brown I stated that I would update it as I read the original book written in 1963. It had then come to my attention that new books in the series were still being published. Based on how the Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew book from 2007 had updated the series in a way that bothered me, I was concerned about what changes were made, if any, in the intervening decades to Encyclopedia. I am happy to report that other than referring to current events (space shuttle launches, hurricanes) Encyclopedia and his partner Sally Kimball are unchanged. Yay!! What a relief. I can endorse the books, regardless of publication date, for the 8 and up crowd.

Mary Ann and Miss Mozart
This is the first book in the "Historical House" series. The series is set in a house in London. Each book involves a different era and different characters. The books are written for girls aged 10 and up. They take place between the 1700's and 1960's.
In "Mary Ann and Miss Mozart" a girl is sent to a school for girls - which she loves. She especially enjoys her music lessons as she wants to be an opera singer. The school takes some of the girls to see Amadeus Mozart and his sister perform. The genius of Mozart and his sister are explained without sounding like a lecture. Trouble ensues when she finds out she will be forced to leave the school.
I would recommend that Mom reads the book first - not because of inappropriateness, but because the book offers a lot of chances for discussion (e.g. how Mary Ann should have handled things, the inequality between boys and girls at that time, how girls were not expected to want a career or have ambition).
I enjoyed reading it and look forward to the other books in the series.
