review 1: The Fenway Foul-Up was about some kids who find out who stole Big D's bat. Big D is the greatest player on the team. My favorite part is when the kids find out who took the bat. They followed clues to figure out what happened to the bat. My favorite character was the boy named Mike. I like him because he likes baseball like me. I think other boys and girls and some grown-ups would like this book. This is a good book to read in the summer. IT IS PRETTY GOOD!
review 2: Evaluating short chapter books, those for early independent readers is tricky - the text can't be too complex, but if it's too simple it feels babyish and the kids don't want to read it. I felt like this one fell on the 'too easy, too young' side of the spectrum, which isn't... more a strike against it, necessarily, but it wasn't what I expected. I guess I was looking for a little bit more - more characterization, specifically. The plot and mystery were very appropriate for younger readers, and I just felt like the two main characters could have used a little bit more depth. But for kids who are just getting past those beginning stages, this could be a good first chapter book. less
