Book Review by Charlie Weasley - If you like mysteries and baseball, you’ll love this book. It’s called Rookie Blue Jay. The author is David A. Kelly. It is part of a series. It is book 10 of the series. Here’s what happens. There are 2 cousins named Mike and Kate and they are really good at solving mysteries. There is a baseball player named Dusty. Based on the title, do you think that Dusty is a senior (4 years of playing), junior (3 years of playing), sophomore (2 years of playing), or rookie (one year of playing)? If you said rookie, then you’re correct. Anyway, the mystery is that there are lights in the bullpen. What are they? I can’t tell you! Read to find out what happens. I give this book 5 stars because a player won ‘Rookie of the Year.’ It mentioned ghost lights and that was cool. I like the whole series. I recommend this from 6-9 year olds.
