Customer Reviews

A good series for the young reader

This book is only one in a long series of the adventures of Karen "Two-Two" Brewer. She gave herself and her brother the nickname "Two-Two" because they now seem to have two of everything (including homes and sets of parents) since their parents divorced. As the child of parents who divorced and then remarried, Karen has stepparents and step brothers and sisters, so the interaction of family characters varies in each book. In this story, Karen and her two best friends Hannie and Nancy play detectives to get to the bottom of mysterious happenings during softball practice. The team, Kristiy's Krushers is run by Karen's older sister. All the neighborhood kids want to play on the team, but at tryouts things keep going wrong! Bats and gloves are disappearing and reappearing and other equipment is being sabotaged. If things don't change Kristy's team may not be able to play. Karen and her friends form the Three Musketeers Detective Agency to get to the bottom of it but can they figure out the mystery in time to save the team? Young kids (especially girls ages 7-10) will enjoy bonding with Karen and her friends in this series. It's easy to read and there are even a couple of pictures to add to the story.
