Tonight, my daughter solved her first Encyclopedia Brown case. She solved “The Case of the Blueberry Pies” and explained the solution to me before we heard the solution on my audiobook copy of Encyclopedia Brown Gets His Man.
She intuited that something was up: two twins had pulled a shenanigan at a pie-eating contest. The real question was could she prove it.
Yes, she could.
The light in her eyes as she put together the solution was amazing. I was just as happy for her as she was for herself.
