From AudioFile:
In this second book in the Barnstormers series, the Travelin Nine undertake their second baseball game in Louisville, Kentucky. Mystery continues to shroud the team. What power does the special baseball have when the three Payne children touch it? How are the horses--invisible to most--that appear on the ball field influencing the game? What is the connection between these questions and the childrens uncle and deceased father? Josh Hamilton brings wonder and a youthful sound to this production. He voices each Payne child distinctively, and listeners will hear each childs relief and sense of accomplishment as pieces of the puzzle are put into place. As narrator, Hamilton uses a veiled voice that heightens the mysteries surrounding this baseball game. A.R. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
