THIS IS A COOL BOOK!

I loved this book because I was always wondering what was going to happen next. Wishbone, Joe, Sam, and David want to find out more about the Oakdale baseball team, the Oakdale Oaks. But the books, newspaper articles, and everything else about the Oaks has mysteriously dissapeared. They try to figure out why someone would do that. Then they learn that years and years ago, something really bad happened in Oakdale. I thought this book was very exciting. Some people who wrote reviews about this book, I won't say who, said it was confusing, and not mysterious, YA RIGHT! They're WRONG! It's not confusing, and it is mysterious so HA! It's not confusing, because I read it, and it's a really great book!

This book was interesting, but not mysterious.

Joe finds some old baseball cards. Some of them date back to the 1930s! Some of them were from a team in the Negro League: The Oakdale Oaks. Soon he finds out that the Oaks won the national championship one year. Joe decides to research this topic. At the library he realizes that the books on the Oaks are missing! To find out what happens, read the book.
