5.0 out of 5 stars Another problem solved by great detectives for just a Dollar a day!
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2008
Bigs Maloney's sled gets stolen just two days before the great sled race. Bigs Maloney is the roughest, toughest kid in second grade, and when his sled get stolen, just two days before the great sled race, he promises to clobber the crumb who stole his "Velma".

It's a race against time in this case for Jigsaw Jones and Mila!

2.0 out of 5 stars It's ok. It's not exciting
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2016
This is the review written by my 7 year old son.
"It's ok. It's not exciting."

I agree with him. I also found the book to be rather boring and not written very well. Both my son and I figured out "who did it" about half way through the book. The chapters seemed to have a lot of pointless filler in them that has nothing to do with the plot. Though it was minor, and not enough for my to prevent my kids from reading the books, there were a few times when I didn't really like the attitudes of the kids in the book.
