Description: Help your students (or neighbors) discover the baseball mystery Finding Buck McHenry, a great introduction to the Negro Leagues of classic baseball history. Paperbacks are in very good condition, five produced by Scholastic, one reprinted by HarperCollins. No rips, marks, or highlights. Description:"Daydreamer Jason, 11, has just been [dropped] from his Little League team. Seeking solace at the baseball-card shop, he makes a startling hypothesis: 'Buck McHenry,' star pitcher [of the Negro Leagues], could be school custodian Mack Henry. Mr. Henry's identity, in doubt through much of the book, provides a mystery, a bittersweet revelation, and a satisfyingly dramatic denouement. The characterizations are pungent, the action (on and off the diamond) involving. A solid, rewarding story." —K. Finalist, 1992 Edgar Allan Poe Award, Juvenile Category (Mystery Writers of America)Children's Choices for 1992 (IRA/CBC)
