Bookroo's summary

In Miami, young sleuths Mike and Kate visit the Marlins ballpark, where Kate's Uncle Oliver manages the fish tanks. When rare fish, including a prized marlin, disappear, the duo dives into a puzzling mystery. Did Kate really spot an endangered sea turtle, or is something more sinister at play? As they unravel the clues, the stakes rise in this thrilling ballpark whodunit. Can they uncover the truth before the final inning?

From the publisher

It’s the eighth inning! The Missing Marlin is book #8 in our early chapter book mystery series, where each book is set in a different American ballpark! Mike and Kate are in Miami visiting Kate’s Uncle Oliver–and the Miami Marlins ballpark, of course! Uncle Oliver is in charge of keeping the new fish tanks at the ballpark fully stocked, but strange things keep happening. Kate swears she saw an endangered sea turtle in one of the tanks. Then some of Uncle Oliver’s rare fish go missing, including his favorite, Marlin. Something fishy is going on in Miami! The Missing Marlin includes several pages of Dugout Notes, fun facts about Miami’s recently built ballpark with its homerun statue, fish tanks, and swimming pool. Cross Ron Roy’s A to Z Mystery series with Matt Christopher’s sports books and you get the Ballpark Mysteries: fun, puzzling whodunits aimed at the younger brothers and sisters of John Feinstein fans.
