    About this ebook

    Featuring friendship, school, family, and a diverse community, these early illustrated chapter book Jigsaw Jones Mysteries from James Preller have it all.

    When a new kid moves into town, he brings with him a mystery as big as his house! Reggie Armitage the III has found a box with a list of codes and a golden skeleton key—but he has no idea what the key opens or how to crack the code. It's a good thing 2nd-grade sleuths, Jigsaw Jones and Mila Yeh, are investigating The Case of the Golden Key.

    James Preller's wry, witty, Jigsaw Jones books are once again available to inspire the next generation of young readers, featuring both new titles and classroom classics!

      Jigsaw Jones is a great character for easy to middle readers, especially for boys who may have trouble finding books they enjoy. Jigsaw is the neighborhood private eye; he can solve any mystery that the kids throw his way. In this installment, Jigsaw Jones meets a new kid on the block, a less social/popular kid. Throughout the mystery, Jigsaw begins to see that this new kid isn't has bad as he thought. A good lesson for kids in making new friends and not discriminating, this book is yet another fun mystery in the series.

    Reginald Pinkerton Armitage III

    Sunday morning I was riding uphill, on my way to meet a new client. His house was on the edge of town. But it might as well have been the edge of the world. A neighborhood of long driveways and fancy cars. The houses came in three sizes: big, bigger, and just plain ridiculous.

    I arrived at 86 Baker Street, snapped down the kickstand, and took a look around. There was a lot of around to look at. The front lawn was so perfect it could have been the infield grass at Yankee Stadium. The bushes looked like they’d been trimmed with a pair of small scissors and a tweezer. The house itself was a little bigger than just plain ridiculous.

    I glanced down at my faded jeans and beat-up sneakers. I tucked in my shirt. Pulled down my hat. And did three quick push-ups on the doorbell.

    Gong-gong-gong, it chimed.

    The thick door opened without a sound.

    That was the first time I laid eyes on Reginald Pinkerton Armitage III. He was shorter than me, though he stood as straight as a soldier. Reginald was dressed in crisp khakis and a sweater vest over a button-down shirt. He wore a tidy bow tie and his slick black hair was held in place by gooey gel. With his right pinkie, Reginald pushed a pair of round eyeglasses from the
