Encyclopedia Brown!
And I'm still searching for a copy of Sinbad & Me. Where I learned about codes and cyphers, the pineapple in architecture and doubloons. Plus, the first disabled kid I ever read about.
I did so love that book. But...I can still smell the Scholastic printing materials. PeeYupee.
I know I had The Partridge Family #2: The Haunted Hall but I gave it away at some point.
You can probably get it at Kayo Books. I made Dana Gould laugh when I pointed out Keith Partridge, Master Spy to him and his wife.
I loved Encyclopedia Brown. I wanted to be him. And have what's-her-name for a girlfriend....

Man, I loved that one, Hec.
Man, I loved that one, Hec.
Midnight? Yeah, that was a great book. Ain't a rider can't be throwed, ain't a horse that can't be rode. Except one.
