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.
