Friends and detectives-in-training, Milo and Jazz, are at the local fair during the summer.  The fair seems to be jinxed because strange things are happening: farm animals getting loose, pies disappearing, fake snakes in the games.  No one can explain it, until Milo and Jazz overhear a group of older boys known for their troublemaking ways, saying pretty incriminating stuff.  This leads Milo to think that these boys are planning for something bad to happen during the next day’s Fourth of July celebration.  Milo decides to infiltrate the group by pretending he’s a ‘bad boy,’ too.  But rather than planning a heist, the boys are trying to get organized to be fruits and veggies for a parade.  Big mistake on Milo’s part.  The person who they least expected turned out to be the culprit. This book will be a great fit and popular for readers in third and fourth grades who need something to read that’s of interest to them but not difficult.
