4.0 out of 5 stars Help! This is a scary book, July 14, 2001

This review is from: The Case of the Mummy Mystery (Jigsaw Jones Mystery, No. 6) (Paperback)

It all started with a bet. Joey Pignattano, Jigsaw's friend, is going to eat a worm on Halloween for a dollar. Everyone ( except Bigs Maloney) thinks it's a gross, and I mean gross, idea. Finally, Joey's big day comes. Jigsaw brings some worms for Joey, but just before the school's annual pie contest, the worms disappear! This looks like a job for Jigsaw Jones and Mila Yeh. This book was a little bit duller than "The Case of the Spooky Sleepover", another Jigsaw Jones book. Good luck on new books James Preller.

4.0 out of 5 stars Preller does another great job with Jigsaw Jones, June 7, 2001

By 

Jane (Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Case of the Mummy Mystery (Jigsaw Jones Mystery, No. 6) (Paperback)

My six year old loves these books. And for his parents? We couldn't be happier to find a series of well written mysteries for kids. Preller's situations and characters are fun and up-to-date. We're in the middle of reading them all and have liked each one enormously. One caveat: this particular book had me reading a few sections with my stomach in my throat. Of course my kids thought that Joey Pignattano eating a worm was nothing more than great fun. I guess you just have to be under 20 to understand!

This review is from: The Case of the Mummy Mystery (Jigsaw Jones Mystery, No. 6) (Paperback)

There's more going on than Joey Pignattano's big upcoming event: to eat a worm (for a dollar). The second grade teacher is a sweetheart - will she finally win the pumpkin pie baking contest this year? Then there's the really scary story floating around about the real mummy that comes every Halloween -it can't be true, can it? But then . . . the mummy (gasp!) shows up at school for Halloween! Cool fun for younger readers (and not really scary).
