    My son just started in a baseball league and is really taking to it. He is an avid reader as a rising second grader and these are the perfect books for him to learn about the history of baseball, teams, and stadiums. He loves mysteries so it is a win win! I'm enjoying learning more about the famous teams and stadiums as well. Highly recommend for summer reading for your baseball enthusiast ages 6-9 years

    We bought this set of books for our 9yo son for Christmas. He has gotten very interested in reading chapter books, so I wanted to find a series that he could enjoy and follow. So far he has read 2 of the 4 books, and he loves them! It's a great mixture of baseball and mystery. He has already asked us to buy him other books in the series, which we definitely plan to do!

    We're midway through our second book and my 6 year old really enjoys these so far. The chapters aren't too long and the story is engaging. I'd highly recommend this for anyone with a kid on the 5-7 age range.
