(3) 4-6 Cal Ripken, Jr.'s All-Stars series. With Kevin Cowherd. Eighth-grader Cody Parker, heavy but an excellent baseball player, moves to Baltimore, where he beats out a bully to win the third-baseman spot on his school team. Then Cody's accused of stealing cell phones, and things get tense. Short chapters, constructive handling of bullying, and the sports/mystery combination make this a good choice for sports fans.
