The boys are going playing a football game against the girls
right before Thanksgiving and Jigsaw Jones is going to be the referee. Before
the game, Bigs Malone’s stinky sneakers have been stolen. Jigsaw and his
partner, Mila, are on the case; showing that boys and girls working together
make an amazing team on and off the field.
Jigsaw Jones mysteries are great for early chapter book
readers. There’s a good mix of boy and girl characters and there’s just enough
mystery to keep the reader guessing. A perfect introduction to the mystery
genre for young readers.
