My grandson started reading right away.

Very Old Chap

The story line would have been a great story, but the writing got repetetive and overly preachy.

Sometimes after travelling the world over, finding yourself in and out of small bookstores that have shelves so high windows seem unnecessary, you realize sometimes what you're looking for is a little closer to home, or on Long Beach Island anyway. Robert Skead, author of the children's book, Safe at Home, A Baseball Card Mystery, calls Barnegat Light his home. Skead's baseball book has just been published by Cross Training Publishing. Safe at Home tells the story of 11-year-old Trevor Mitchell. Mitchell has just received some great news -- the Babe Ruth baseball card that his greatgrandfather has just given him is worth $50,000, according to the local sports collectibles store. Trevor may not have a great understanding of the financial figure, but from the way everyone is reacting, he realizes the card is very important. What's just as important though, is the story that goes along with it -- Trevor's greatgrandfather used to play in the major leagues with "The Babe" and was supposedly the only man to ever steal home on the legend. But since there are no records to verify it, is the story true? Just as Trevor begins to wonder whether or not the story is true, trouble strikes: The card is missing! What happened? Did Trevor simply lose it or did someone with not-so-pure intentions decide to claim it? Though Trevor may be no private investigator, he certainly maps out a strategy to find out exactly what happened to the card. And maybe, just maybe, he can reconcile with the man who gave him the card, his greatgrandfather, who's more distressed that Trevor would doubt his story than what happened to the card. The story is a wonderful way for kids to get back to reading before they get back to school. The subject matter is quite interesting, and following Trevor around unravelling the mystery is fun. In addition, kids will get more than baseball facts and figures from Safe at Home. They'll also come away from the book knowing that spirituality and morality got Trevor through his crisis, no matter what the outcome, and that's a lesson no child is too young to learn. It's clear that Skead, whose short stories have appeared in Clubhouse magazine, put his heart into this book. Trevor is named for Skead's stillborn son, and the author has said that "Trevor Mitchell is the kind of boy I hoped Trevor Skead would be. Someone who is faced with problems, makes mistakes, but understands the importance of forgiveness and faith in reconciling relationships. The writing of this story helped me heal from our loss and feel connected to the son I held, but never knew." Safe at Home is dedicated to Trevor Skead. You'll be sure to find this warm tale a favorite for kids, and a great way to lure them back into the world of learning. Safe at Home has many lessons to teach.

Robert Skead's debut novel effort is a touching story of forgiveness, loyalty and what's truly important in the world. "Safe at Home" is an intriguing mystery, but more than that, it is a story that all of us can relate to--disappointing the people who mean the most to us, but realizing we are more important to them than the mistake we made. The story combines wit, creativity and a slice-of-life feel to tell the story of Trevor Mitchell, a boy who loses a $50,000 baseball card. You'll never guess who did it in this twist and turn mystery. I would highly recommend this excellent book to anyone.
