In the spirit of The Magic Treehouse, two children find themselves constantly in the midst of an adventure. But instead of a magic treehouse, or even a magic anything, all the mystery and excitement revolves around baseball! In this installment, it appears that someone is trying to get Kate’s dad fired…or does it go even further than that? Does someone want to bring down the whole team? Could the L.A. Dodgers be in trouble? Kate and Mike, in the spirit of all curious children, soon discover the source of what could be the problem, but he’s always one step ahead of them (hence, the ‘L.A. Dodger’). Can they outsmart him and help Kate’s dad keep his job (and his sanity)? The fate of the L.A. Dodgers is in the hand of two smart kids with a plan! The L.A. Dodger is a fun little mystery whose fast pace and easy reading level will bring joy to any young fan of baseball.
