  • Description
  • Files

Pablo Pizzaro, Idaville’s greatest boy artist, enters a New Nose Now contest, and sculpts a new nose for a statue of Abraham Lincoln, since the original nose on the statue had been smashed by a baseball. Pablo is certain he will win the contest and brags all over the neighborhood about his winning nose, but just a few days before the New Nose Now contest, Pablo’s nose is stolen, so he enlists the help of Encyclopedia Brown, famous boy detective, to catch the thief.
