Synopsis: The story starts off with Athena Lorenzo meeting Jigsaw at his tree house, asking him to solve a case for her. Someone in class put slime in her sneakers when she was not looking, making her yell in fright when she put her foot in it, and having everyone laugh at her. She also shows a note which she found in her cubby with the word "Gotcha!" Mila, Jigsaw's partner, decides to taste the slime from the socks Athena was wearing, and discovers that it is actually Lime Jell-O.
Later, Joey Pignattano calls Jigsaw and tells him that someone placed rubber bologna in his sandwich at the cafeteria, nearly poisoning him, along with a note of the same words attached in his lunch box. As if that wasn't bad enough, someone put a can of fake snakes to jump out on Mila's desk when she opened it, and turned the water in the class fish tank pink! Can Jigsaw figure out who the culprit and put an end to their pranks?
Review: I thought this was a good book in the Jigsaw Jones series, because it did have some really good parts to it, but overall, as a mystery, if was pretty easy to figure out who was behind the pranks because the author hints it in the middle of the book. Another reason why I was a little disappointed was because, unlike other Jigsaw Jones books which have a lot of suspects for Jigsaw to keep an eye on, this book only had one, Ralphie Jordan.
There is also a side story where Jigsaw's father is trying to train raisins in order to create a raisin circus. I found this to be a good humorous, and interesting side story because it even made me wonder how Jigsaw's father could train raisins. The illustrations as always are wonderfully drawn by Jamie Smith.
Overall, even though I wouldn't consider this amongst one of my favorite Jigsaw Jones mysteries, I did enjoy reading it, and if the culprit wasn't so predictable, I would have put it in my favorites.
