Not much has changed in Idaville since I left it 25 years ago. Encyclopedia Brown is still charging 25 cents for his detective services, Sally Kimball is still the tough and pretty girl next door and Bugs Meany is still sporting that strange pointed hat. Kids still have names like Duke and Baldy, and the bad guys are still awfully quick to confess when confronted by an overly perceptive 12 year old.
Am I disappointed that Encyclopedia hasn’t grown and changed with me over the years? Not really. The ten year old inside me still devoured each mystery and even solved a few without checking the answers in the back.
