Series and chapter books worth getting hooked on

Ballpark Mysteries Series

by David A. Kelly, 2011

“Combines the allure of baseball parks with the challenge of solving a mystery… Historical details… will keep the young baseball fan reading.” - Kirkus Reviews

Frankly we don’t understand why there aren’t a lot more sports themed storybooks and novels for young readers. Firstly, if we want to encourage our children to be more active then it makes sense to offer them active role models. Secondly, and perhaps more obviously, as adults we love playing and watching sports, every year brings its share of inspiration sports related movies, so why wouldn’t our kids want the same?

The Ballpark Mysteries is a chapter book series written by David A. Kelly and illustrated by Mark Meyer. Each volume in the series takes place in a different Major League ballpark in the United States. The first book in the series is called The Fenway Foul-Up and takes place at the world famous Fenway Park near Boston Massachusetts. In this volume nine-year-old baseball fans Kate Hopkins and Mike Walsh solve the mystery of a Red Sox slugger’s bat that disappeared in front of at least a dozen witnesses. Will they be able to find the bat and restore the player’s winning status?

The series presently stands at six novels. The books contain in-depth details on each park that are guaranteed to delight any young baseball fan. Included in each volume is a fact sheet about the ballpark in question, but the prose is also full of well-researched detail. The winning combination of baseball and mystery novel broadens the appeal of the series to budding fans of both.
