    About this audiobook

    Next up to the plate-book #5 in our early chapter book mystery series, where each book is set in a different American ballpark!

    The stars are out in Kansas City . . . the baseball stars, that is! Mike and Kate are at the All-Star game, and even get to go on the field during the Home Run Derby to catch pop-ups! That's where they meet Andy, whose dad, Josh Robinson, is an All-Star catcher. But before the Home Derby ends, Josh finds himself in hot water. Someone is playing practical jokes on the other players, and the coach is sure it's him. Andy swears his dad is innocent. Who would want to frame Josh? And why?

    The All-Star Joker includes a fun fact page about Kansas City's stadium.

    Cross Ron Roy's A to Z mystery series with Matt Christopher's sports books and you get the Ballpark Mysteries: fun, puzzling whodunnits aimed at the younger brothers and sisters of John Feinstein's fans.

      Mike and Kate are back in the fifth book of the "Ballpark Mysteries" series! This time they are in Kansas City to see the All-Star Game, which is cool, as the real event is actually IN K.C. this year! They try to help the Royals all-star catcher clear his name when he is accused of playing too many practical jokes! A fun read, as the kids run around Kauffman Stadium and get to shag flies during the Home Run Derby! And I still love the Dugout Notes after the story! A nice touch! Only one question - which stadium will the kids visit next? I vote for Oakland!!!
