4.0 out of 5 stars "A Neat Book", January 15, 2000
By 
Mark McGwire (St. Louis, U.S.A.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Basketball Mystery (The Boxcar Children Mysteries #68) (Paperback)
I really enjoyed reading this book. It was interesting reading about some basketball stars and a stolen trophy. I would really rate it four and a half stars but I wasn't able to. The reason it "would" be four and a half stars is because every once and a while I got a tiny bit bored. I still love reading it because it has more than that. I loved reading about the basketball clinic. I LOVE this book!
