Trade ReviewSilver Falchion Award Finalist for Best Children’s Chapter Book Moonbeam Children’s Book Award Silver Medalist“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 Marlowe, a private eye who corresponds with Milo and Jazz and offers brain teasers at the end of the book. Clever and fun.” —
