Review Detail

I'm a huge baseball fan, so I was excited that I got the opportunity to read this book. I haven't read the first three books in the series but I didn't feel like I missed anything. There are a lot of great baseball facts in this book. There is information about the game, including the hidden ball trick, and then at the end there is a special section called Dugout Notes that features information about the Astros' ballpark.

If you have a young baseball fan in your house, this would be the perfect book to use to start transitioning to chapter books. I think your young readers will enjoy figuring out Mike and Kate's mystery of "Who stole the moon rock?" I look forward to reading and sharing the other books in this series with my own child. I hope there is a Ballpark Mystery at Busch Stadium in the future!
