| The Fenway Foul-up - mystery book review |
David A. Kelly
A Stepping Stone Book
2011
Available:
paperback, Kindle
This is the first book in the chapter book
Ballpark Mystery series.
Cousins, Kate and Mike, have tickets to the Red
Sox game at Fenway Park because Kate's mom is a sports writer covering the
game. Plus they have an All Access passes to the ballpark. They arrive early to
watch the batting practice before the game. It's totally exciting. Then the
lucky bat of star slugger Big D is stolen and the two cousins set out to find
it. Without his lucky bat, Big D can't seem to hit a thing and the team is
doomed to lose. It’s a real who-done-it mystery with lots of clues, suspects,
and red herrings. Sprinkled in the tale are a lot of fun facts about Fenway
Park.
This is a great chapter book mystery. It flows
and the reader will easily be pulled along with Kate and Mike's inestigation.
Baseball fans especially will love this series.
TARGET AUDIENCE: grades 4-6
MYSTERY / SUSPENCE: well plotted with a surprise or two
