Haunting at Home Plate

181 pp. | Whitman | September, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-8075-3181-2 $$14.95
(3) 4-6 As sixth-grader Nelson and his baseball team train at Phantom Limb Park, they find puzzling yet encouraging messages scratched in the dirt at home plate. The boys and their (college-age, female) coach wonder if these communications are from Andy Kirk, a young baseball fan who died in an accident at the park during the 1940s. Sports fiction and ghost story are effectively combined in the well-paced novel.
