Lewis B. Montgomery is the pen name of a writer whose favorite authors include CSL, EBW, and LMM. Those initials are a clue-but there's another clue, too. Can you figure out their names? Lewis lives in eastern Pennsylvania and also writes under the pen names Eleanor May and Nan Walker. Amy Wummer has illustrated more than 50 children's books. Amy and her husband, who is also an artist, live in Pennsylvania.
Milo and Jazz return to solve their twelfth mystery, and they do so with style. The town has gathered to see the opening of a 75-year-old time capsule after it's dug from the ground. Instead, though, all they find is a skeleton and a taunting note from the kid who seems to have taken the capsule. The citizens of Westview are aghast that their bit of history is gone, and everyone has a different idea about finding it. Milo and Jazz find themselves pitted against Gordy, 'the school prankster, ' as they race to the nursing home and then over to the library to find help as they figure out the time capsule's location. This series continues to have so much going for it. Not only are the mysteries solvable and the line drawings a plus, but both the detective duo and readers benefit from the presence of Dash Marlow, a private eye who corresponds with Milo and Jazz and offers brain teasers at the end of the book. Clever and fun. --Booklist -- Journal (5/1/2014 12:00:00 AM)
