The Ballpark Mysteries series is the perfect series for a young boy obsessed with baseball. He was so excited to read these books and finish them in no time! I did not read it myself, but according to him, it was a very good book. It has since been passed to his younger brother, who is not so much into baseball, but enjoys mystery. It is therefore a perfect book for both of them! Covers all bases.

My 7 year old son enjoyed really enjoying this book. He is a reluctant reader, so we took reading turns. He looks forward to the next book in the series.

Wonderful Series for Young Readers
Derived From Web , Jun 2, 2022
My son has absolutely devoured these books. He is six years old and a huge baseball fan. These books are challenging enough that they take a while to read, which is a good thing bc we've gotten through the series very quickly! These books are educational, fact-filled, and fun for young readers. I highly recommend these books and I am so glad that I discovered this series in an Amazon search. My son can 't wait for Book #6 to be published in February.

Finally! Books my son will read.
Derived From Web , Jun 2, 2022
I have been trying to get my 8 year old son to read. We could not find any books that held interest. He finished it in two days and asks for the next. He loves baseball, yes. We named all our sons after baseball players, so I hoped he would. ) While I haven 't read the book yet, 5 stars to the author for writing books my son loves! I bought #2 and I am sure that I will soon own this whole series.

My reluctant readers really liked this book and I decided to purchase books 1-9 so that I could have the books on hand for them to take back to their classrooms. David A. Kelly, thank you!

great kids mystery book
Derived From Web , Jun 2, 2022
This is a great book if your kid likes mystery books and/or baseball. It takes place in a specific place and describes many of the peculiarities that are real to the park. The main characters are two children who have access to the park through a parent who works there. Both kids love baseball and are problem solvers always looking for clues. I have liked reading what I have seen from this series, since they all feature the different aspects of unique baseball parkscities. They only think I haven 't liked is that a few of the books mention divorce, which some parents may not be able to speak to their children.
