Resumen del Editor

The Fenway Foul-Up: Mike Walsh and Kate Hopkins are super-lucky. They have tickets to the Boston Red Sox game and all-access passes to Fenway Park. But during batting practice, the lucky bat that belongs to Big D, the star slugger of the Red Sox, is stolen!

The Pinstripe Ghost: Mike and Kate are waiting for Kate's mom at a boring press conference in Yankee Stadium when the team official says something that makes Mike perk up his ears. There are rumors that the ghost of Babe Ruth is haunting the new stadium!

The L.A. Dodger: It's spring break and Kate and Mike are off to Los Angeles to visit Kate's dad, a scout for the Dodgers. But strange things have been happening to Kate's dad. Is someone after Mr. Hopkins' top secret scouting reports?

The Astro Outlaw: Before a game at the Astros' ballpark, Mike and Kate get to meet astronaut commander Nick Rice at the nearby Houston Space Center. He's planning to display a very rare moonrock at an autographing event later. But just before the event, a nefarious outlaw knocks out the commander and steals the moonrock!

The All-Star Joker: Mike and Kate are at the All-Star game! That's where they meet Andy, whose dad, Josh Robinson, is an All-Star catcher. But before the Home Derby ends, Josh finds himself in hot water.

A favorite of my 5yo & 8yo

My kids, 5 & 8, absolutely love this audio series. The narrator does well keeping the narration engaging. The story itself is perfect for elementary ages, it's both funny and interesting. I appreciate that throughout the story there are a lot of baseball facts for the kids (and myself) to learn. Also that even though it's a mystery there is nothing for my timid 5yo to be scared of.
We've owned the collections for about a year now and they're still an often listened to favorite.
(The main characters are cousins, a boy and a girl, this title is wonderful for everyone. Both the boy and girl characters are equally matched for knowledge, ability, silliness, etc)
