    About this ebook

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

    The Case of the Mummy Mystery

    It all started with a dare. . . .

    Only Joey Pignattano would agree to eat a worm in exchange for a dollar. Problem is, he doesn't trust Bobby Solofsky to hold up his end of the deal. So he's hired Jigsaw Jones and Mila Yeh to make sure Bobby keeps his word.

    But when the worm goes missing and the primary suspect is a mummy—on Halloween of all days!—Jigsaw Jones is the only one who can solve the case!

      Guess He’ll Go Eat Worms

      I’m a detective, and I solve mysteries.

      Some cases are nice and easy. Somebody loses a cat. I find the cat. They pay me, and everybody’s as happy as a bug in a rug.

      Then there are the tough cases. The cases that wiggle and turn like a worm on a hook. The mysteries that are full of surprises.

      This was one of those cases.

      I thought it was going to be a simple job. But one thing’s for sure. I never expected mummy trouble.

      That’s right. I said mummy. Not mommy. Mummy.

      Mommies I can handle. Mummies are a different story. A mummy is a walking zombie. He’s a guy covered with bandages who looks like he jumped off a tall building without a parachute. He’s a guy who was dead and buried—but then came back to walk the earth.

      That kind of mummy.

      Yeesh.
