Nancy, George and Bess have joined the Mahoney Marlins baseball team. Bess is soon discovered to be a great hitter! Bess thanks her lucky bat, "Magic Bill" for that. Soon, Bess's bat disappears! And just when everyone was getting ready for a big match against the River City Raccoons. Hm.

This was one of the good books from my childhood! I was always intrigued with mystery stories. Books that involved Nancy Drew fed my interest. I found it interesting to read books from her younger days. They may seem very childish, but hey! It is still a fast and fun read.
