Illustration by R.W. Alley from Jigsaw Jones: The Case of the Hat Burglar. 

Pretty perfect, right?

Mostly I just wanted to share that fabulous illustration. The idea for this mystery — probably the last Jigsaw Jones book? — came from all the “Lost and Founds” I’d seen on various school visits. They always depressed me. The disregard for expensive clothes, the fine things that so many of us have, in a world where not everyone is as fortunate.

Mila has some ideas about this, thankfully.
