(4) 4-6 Cal Ripken, Jr.'s All-Stars series. With Kevin Cowherd. This installment focuses on twelve-year-old catcher Mickey's rivalry with Zach ("Zoom"), a self-important pitcher who improves his bad attitude. Sports enthusiasts and Ripken's fans will appreciate the play-by-play game descriptions and baseball tips (especially about the challenging catcher's position). The characterization isn't especially believable here, but the action carries this approachable novel.
