Max and the Mystery of the Missing Baseball

By Agatha Grant

What if a missing baseball could turn math into an adventure?

Max has never given much thought to math. But when his favorite autographed baseball disappears, a trail of clues sends him from the kitchen to the playground, a neighborhood fort, and a garden filled with shadowy shapes.

To find his baseball, Max must subtract numbers, recognize a pattern, divide objects equally, identify shapes, and sort toys by size. With every clue, he begins to see that math is not limited to books and worksheets. It is part of everyday life.

Max and the Mystery of the Missing Baseball is a full-color illustrated story that combines mystery, problem-solving, and early math concepts. It encourages children who already enjoy math and children who are not quite sure about it yet.

This book is a good choice for:

- Children ages 6-9
- Family and classroom read-alouds
- Early elementary math enrichment
- Homeschool learning
- Children who enjoy mysteries and hidden clues
- Young readers building confidence with math

Can Max solve every challenge and bring his favorite baseball home?

Customer Reviews

AI written and illustrated book

So this book is clearly a self published book written and illustrated using AI. I'm annoyed at spending money on something like this. That being said.... It does fit the niche I need and my child doesn't particularly care about consistent illustrations where the main character changes physical attributes each page and there's random floating playground equipment, nor do they really mind the robotic writing.
