Jigsaw Jones series, anyone have kids that have read them?

Are they ok. My ds is just getting into chapter books, so I'm trying to find some that might interest him.

Thanks,

My ds7 likes them. He's read half a dozen or so. He zips through them.

I pre-read one, and skimmed another one, and don't remember anything objectionable in them (and I tend toward the conservative side). As I recall they are at about a 3rd grade reading level.

Warm regards, Lori D.

My girls like them. Third-Grade Detectives is another non-girlie one.
