Review

This is the first of the Ballpark Mysteries Super Specials authored by Kelly who is an authority on baseball in the eyes of perhaps millions of early grade baseball enthusiasts. Amateur detectives Kate and Mike find themselves in the mist of some un-sportsman like conduct as the Cubs battle the Red Sox for the pennant. Told as a mystery there is a lot of content within the entertaining story. Extra and ample information is provided in the Dugout Notes at the end of the text.

Kelly knows his sport and his audience, early readers will welcome this addition to their school and public library shelves. This title would be well received as a birthday gift by any young baseball fan.
