From the publisher
It’s not easy being green! The carnival is in town and Jigsaw’s friends are excited to enter their first ever frog-jumping contest. It’s going to be grrrrrrr-eat! But when the carnival’s champion jumping frog mysteriously disappears, Jigsaw and his partner Mila suspect foul play. These ace detectives are only a hop, skip, and a jump away from catching the frog-napper, but a bigger mystery remains…which one of them will have the frog with the highest jump? The competition is going to be toad-ally intense!
