5.0 out of 5 stars These Jigsaw Jones books are wonderful for children!!, April 18, 1999

This review is from: The Case of Hermie the Missing Hamster (Jigsaw Jones Mystery, No. 1) (Paperback)

These Jigsaw Jones books are wonderful!! They're really written on a kid's level ..... the tone and choice of words the kids use to converse to each other is so right...so 90's...so hip. My boys really gets into it, waiting for the next clue to solve the mystery. The books are wonderful for beginner readers; it holds their interest and encourages a love for reading. I can't wait for the next book to come out! We've checked out other books such as Magic Tree House which are good, but Jigsaw Jones books are unbelievable!! I was so excited to find this series and wanted to share it with other families.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Must For All Mystery Fans, May 7, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Case of Hermie the Missing Hamster (Jigsaw Jones Mystery, No. 1) (Paperback)

I would like to write areview of a book called The Case of the Missing Hamster. I like to read all kinds of mystery books. This is a book from the series Jigsaw Jones. I liked it because it talked about ways to figure out things. For one, a girl uses her senses because she was allergic to animal fur. I recommend the book to mystery fans. The series includes The Case of The Runaway Dog, The Case of the Secret Valentine, The Case of The Missing Hamster, The Case of The Christmas Snowman, The Case of the Spooky Sleepover, The case of the Stolen Baseball Cards, The case of the Mummy Mystery, and coming soon, The case of the Great Sled Race. Go to your local library and check out one of these books!

I would like to commend the author on this book. My 8 yr. old son loves this one. It especially hit home for him because he has big ears. He gets teased all the time and so he feel in love with the character " Wingnut " . Thank you for helping my son feel special. I would love to see the character " Wingnut " used in more of these Jigsaw Jones books.
