Stepping Stone: Ballpark Mysteries series.
Illustrated by
Mark Myers.
These lightweight mysteries distinguish themselves by the amount of baseball trivia Kelly manages to insert--quite naturally--into the repartee between the boy and girl protagonists. Kate's mother is a sportswriter, giving her and the kids access to the inner reaches of Major League ballparks. Even if the solutions to the mysteries are glaringly obvious, the baseball lore makes for entertaining reading. Review covers these Stepping Stone: Ballpark Mysteries titles: The Fenway Foul-Up and The Pinstripe Ghost.
