"This is a good book in the A to Z Mysteries series. Baseballs are stolen and a new guy in town confesses to the theft to protect his brother. It's up to Dink, Josh and Ruth Rose to discover the real thief. I love that they go to the library to do research and use the internet to solve the mystery."
