Review

This is book 10 in the Ballpark Mystery series. this series started in 2014 and ever since then they have been a huge hit with the kids in my library. the combination of baseball and light mystery really seems to have hit the spot with my 3rd and 4th grade boys and girls.The two main characters are Mike and his cousin Kate. They get to travel around to different ballfields because Kate's mom is a sports reporter and she takes the kids to all the games she is covering. How much fun would that be??!!! At each ballpark the kids come upon some kind of mystery that they end up sleuthing out. this series is a fun read with lots of intrigue.

Overall Book Score: good
