The Milo and Jazz Mysteries #1 The Case of the Stinky Socks by Lewis B. Montgomery illustrated by Amy Wummer*

Milo sends away for his own detective kit from an ad in his Whodunnit magazine.  His first task is to find a real mystery, solve it, write up the case and return it to the magazine.  In return, Dash Marlowe, super sleuth, will share more detecting secrets.
Milo reluctantly joins forces with his neighbor Jazz as they solve the mystery of her brother's missing lucky socks.  He is convinced he cannot pitch well without wearing them (they have never been washed!).  With diligence and logic, Milo and Jazz solve their first case.
Funny, short chapters with keep transitional and independent readers entertained.
This series is a perfect fit for 1st, 2nd, 3rd grade classroom libraries.
*Highly recommend.
Lewis B. Montgomery's real name is Mara Rockliff, a local author.
