Jigsaw Jones and The Case of the Sneaker Sneak

Written by James Preller
The Case of the Sneaker Sneak is about a football game between boys and girls. The best boy player loses his sneakers. He thinks the girls are behind it. Read the book to see how Jigsaw Jones finds clues and solves the case.

I gave this book four stars because it's an exciting book about football and how boys and girls find out that boys and girls can both be good at things.

Review #1:


The main character, Palmer, finds a pigeon and where he lives people kill pigeons. He tries to keep it safe in his house from his friends and town people. Where Palmer lives, there is a holiday where people shoot pigeons and he is nervous for his pet.

I gave this book five stars because it was interesting because you didn't know what was going to happen in thenext chapter. I wondered if people in Palmer's town would stop killing pigeons or not.

Review #2:


A boy named Palmer is a regular boy. A pigeon becomes his pet and has to leave because people in Palmer's town think he has one. There is a day when people in the town shoot pigeons and Palmer worries about his friends wanting to kill his pet.

I gave this book three stars because it is a good book but it wasn't very awesome in general.

Jigsaw Jones and the Case of the Marshmallow Monster

Written by James Preller

 Jigsaw, Mila and many of their classmates went camping. Jigsaw was on vacation from solving mysteries but when there was a rumor of a monster and he gets scared in the water, he takes the case. Read this book to find out how Jigsaw solves the mystery

I gave this book four stars because it was a good, entertaining book. I didn't like that the ending didn't solve all the parts of the mystery, like what happened in the water. Other than that, it was a great book!

Wayside School is Falling Down

Written by Louis Sachar

The setting is Wayside School. The story is about Mrs. Jewel's fourth grade class. Every chapter is a different funny, short story.

I gave this book four stars because it is a very funny book. It is good for a fourth grade level, or anyone who wants a good laugh.

Jigsaw Jones: The Case of the Haunted Scarecrow

Written by James Preller

Review #1:


This book is about Jigsaw Jones and Mila. They are second grade detectives. They are on the case of a stolen necklace. While Jigsaw is looking for the stolen necklace a haunted scarecrow walks towards him. Now he has two mysteries to solve.

I gave this book three stars because it was good but there wasn't too much action. I thought it would be scarier but it mostly just talked about the case. I recommend third and fourth graders read this book.

Review #2:


The characters aer Jigsaw and Mila. The setting of this book is outside by a tree and houses. The characters search for a lost necklace and they find a haunted scarecrow.

I gave this book four stars because the book is exciting! I think this is a good book for second or third grade.
