Books like Encyclopedia Brown and the Case of the Two Spies

When I was younger I devoured every Encyclopedia Brown book I could get my hands on. I would read and re-read every one of them over and over again, enjoying the characters and the stories even though I already knew the solution to each mystery.Unfortunately, in a world of Reading Counts and Accelerate Reader programs, the constant re-reading of the same book over and over again that gave me the fluency I have today is no longer encouraged. Quantity of books is favored over quality and students judge a book not by the story that awaits inside but by the number of "points" that the story will give them.
