BOOK NAME: Honus & Me: A Baseball Card Adventure
AUTHOR: Dan Gutman
I don't collect baseball cards, but I like baseball. This story is about a baseball card that's worth much more than money. It can take you back in time.
It starts when 12-year-old baseball card collector Joe Stoshack helps his old neighbor clean out her attic. She tells him to throw everything in the garbage. While cleaning the attic, he finds an old baseball card for Honus Wagner, which is one of the rarest baseball cards in the world. Joe can't figure out if he should tell his neighbor about it or not. He takes it home and it takes him back in time to when Honus played 100 years ago in the World Series. While back in time, Joe learns that his old neighbor was actually once a girlfriend of Honus Wagner.
The book tells what life and baseball was like a long time ago. I thought it was interesting how baseball players used to pay people to come to their games instead of the other way around. I didn't know anything about Honus Wagner before reading this book, but now I know a lot more about him and the way baseball was played so long ago. If you like baseball, you'll love this book.
That's cool. I once read about that baseball card, but the magazine didn't say much. I am totally gonna look for that at the library!
This book sounds cool! I'm not much of a sports person but I am a bookworm and will read anything I can get my hands on. :)
Yes, I am a girl, but that doesn't mean I can't be a sports person. I love going to Astro's baseball games with my family. This book sounds very interesting and I hope to get a chance to read it!
Cool. It sounds like a cool book. Not really into sports.
I don`t really like baseballl,but I can`t wait to get my hands on this book!
I don't generally like sports, but I read the one with Shoeless Joe and it rocked! If anyone likes Dan Gutman (the author), you should read The Homework Machine!
