Reviews
Detectives Milo and Jazz return in this eighth entry in the Milo and Jazz Mysteries. Milo discovers a diamond necklace in his classroom desk. Was it stolen in a recent jewelry-store burglary and could Milo's teacher be involved? Sprightly black-and-white, pen-and-ink spot illustrations enliven the brief chapters, which are filled with earnest, clever kids being funny--and, more importantly, smart. As always, the book ends with some of the most enjoyable stuff of all: Super Sleuthing Strategies, a series of highly enjoyable brain teasers. --Booklist
