A mystery at Fenway Park

During a Red Sox game, cousins Kate Hopkins and Mike Walsh investigate the theft of star slugger Big D’s lucky bat, which disappears during batting practice in plain sight of a crowd. The ballpark setting ties the central puzzle to baseball, while the cousins’ access to Fenway Park gives the investigation a close-up view of the stadium. A fact page about Fenway Park adds a nonfiction element alongside the whodunit, and the book begins a series whose mysteries take place at different American ballparks.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Beginning readers interested in baseball and sports mysteries
  • Ages 9–12 looking for an early chapter-book whodunit
  • Young readers curious about Fenway Park and its history

Book overview

Now leading off the line-up--book #1 in a brand-new early chapter book mystery series where each book is set in a different American ballpark!

Thanks to Kate's mom, a sports reporter, cousins Mike Walsh and Kate Hopkins have tickets to the Red Sox game and All Access passes to Fenway Park. But as they're watching batting practice before the game, the lucky bat of Red Sox star slugger Big D is stolen . . . right in front of dozens of people. Without the bat, Big D can't seem to hit a thing. Can Kate and Mike figure out who pinched the bat before Big D and the Sox chalk up a loss?

The Fenway Foul-Up includes a fun fact page about Boston's Fenway Park.

Cross Ron Roy's mystery series with Matt Christopher's sports books and you get the Ballpark Mysteries: fun, puzzling whodunnits aimed right at beginning readers.
