James Bernardin.
A ten-gallon hat, fake roses, and cat fur are key clues in Encyclopedia Brown's latest batch of cases. The ten mini-mysteries stick to Sobol's tried-and-true formula, with gal pal Sally, bad boy Bugs Meany, and other familiar characters making appearances. Readers will, as always, enjoy checking their solutions against the answers at the back. Bernardin's black-and-white drawings enliven the stories.
