one of the best baseball adventures!!!

SAFEEE!!!!!

This amazing book, Honus and Me, was historical fiction. The main characters were Joe (the kid who has the power to travel through time with baseball cards), Honus (amazing baseball player in early 1900s), and Amanda Young ( the old lady next door). In the book it says that Honus was one of the best that ever played. He played shortstop and let no balls get past him. He also was an amazing batter with a high batting average (.327). To also add on, he had just over 700 steals in his career.
In the book, Joe is cleaning out Amanda's attic and finds this baseball card of Honus Wagner. He heard about one of these cards before. They're so rare that the last one sold was worth half a million dollars!!! So he thinks he's going to be rich! Since he can travel through time with the card he goes back in time with Honus Wagner to the game 7, 1909 World Series.
When Joe returns to modern day, he doesn't know if he should keep the card, give it back, or sell it. But then decides to give it back to Mrs. Young.
I think this was one of the better books I've read because I like baseball and the book is all about baseball. I also like it because I really didn't know a lot about Honus until after I read the book. You should read this book if you are onto sports and want to learn about older players. You shouldn't read this book if you don't know a lot about baseball because there are some phrases that you might not understand. Overall, this was a great book!

A Great Read

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was a great fantasy read with plenty of baseball facts for young readers. My 10 year old daughter also read this with me, and she is anxious to read the rest of the series. A great way to teach not only baseball history, but american history as well.

AMAZING

This book is m a zing. First, Joe stoshack thinks he is a terrible ballplayer. When he cleans out his old lady neighbors attic he finds a rare t206 honus wagner ball card. Along with a half tore picture of honus wagner. After he uses the card to take him back to meet honus he realizes that he sctually isnt a bad ballplayer after scoring a homerun in the 1909 playoffs when honus gets injured leading his team to victory. bcuz he does such a great job honus gives him randomly the other half of the picture... it was the old lady whos attic he cleaned out. After realizeing honus wagners girlfriend lives next door to him, joe goes back into time and says his goodbyes to honus. When he returns home he finds out that his house was broken into by someone looking for the honus card. His old lady neighbor comes bye and gets the card back-but then rips it up. Ugh-OH!! Then joe shoes her the picture of her from honus and she goes back in to time using joes ripped up honus card. Joe has a feeling she wont come back to Louisville and she will stay with honus. BEST BOOK!

When it began

Stosh meets Honus Wagner in this book. In my opinion, this isn't as good as the newer baseball card adventures, but it's good. It is only the beginning, though. Honus is probably the best shortstop EVER!!! Good book.

must read

Honus and Me I like this book because it tells a lot about a boy named Joe. And he wants to earn money because he likes to collect baseball cards. So one day his mother gets home from work and tells him that he has to clean his neighbor¿s attic. Since she was old and he would get paid he did it. His neighbor told him to throw away everything. And one box breaks while he was carrying it and there was a rare baseball card. And then Honus came out of the card and showed him every thing he did in the past. And he told him that he used to be married to his neighbor .So he keeps it and tried to sell it for $10,000 dollars and gives half to his neighbor. I thought that this book was good because of how the saying goes one mans trash is an other mans treasure and because of how the author explains every thing the kid does like he puts it in a safe plastic case so that it doesn¿t get bent and other tiny facts. Just like how many home runs he made, how far he ever hit the ball, when he was born, and when he died.

my teacher read this book 2 us and i thought the book was awsome

Come and get this awesome book!!

This amazing book called Honus & Me by Dan Gutman is a really good book. It's an awesome, adventurous book and a really awesome book about baseball. To start of this book is about a kid named Joey Stoshack. His family is poor and could really use some money. Then their neighbor Mrs. Young offers Joey a job to clean out her attic and she will give him $5.00 if he does that. He accepts the offer and goes to her attic and it is really messy. He doesn't think that it was worth 5 dollars but since they needed money for food he took the deal.
When he's about to be done cleaning he finds one last box and when he looks in that last box a baseball card of Honus Wagner slips out and falls right in front of him. He realizes that the card is one of the rarest cards in the world. Then he finds out that there are only 40 cards in the world of him. So they stopped making them but a few got out. The next day he went to the store to sell the card right away and they only offered him $100.00 trying to trick him. As smart as joey was he refused. Then Joey researched and found out that the card was worth over $300,000. Then that same night the card out of no where slipped out of under his pillow and then Honus Wagner was there. Honus was in his bedroom. When Joey waked up he out of no where recognized him and was really excited. After that night him and Honus played a couple rounds of baseball. The day after Joey had a baseball game and Joey did bad as usual. Then Honus showed up and told him that he was overstriking when he swung the bat.
When Joey finished the baseball game Joey and Honus decided to go to the time period of 1906. When they showed up out of no where they were in the Yankee stadium and Honus was playing. It was the World Series New York Yankees vs the Detroit Tigers. Ty Cobb and Honus Wagner were the best players out there. After all of those innings the Yankees won the game. The next day Joey decided to show the baseball card to his teacher Mrs. Young. Immediately when she saw the card and she had already known that the card was valuable she decided to rip the card. Joey felt like crying but he kept his tears in and like a man didn't cry.
As I was reading this book I was trying to think of what would happen next in the story. This left me wanting to know more about the book and left me wanting to flip the page. I was also trying to figure out what some of the problems in the story were and how he would be able to solve them. This was because I wanted to solve the problem before the Protagonist did. As I was reading I found one of the problems in the story and that problem was that he wasn't able to find out what to do with the card it was either sell it or keep it. In my opinion I would have sold it to the person that would give me the most money. I would do that because his parents were poor and I would sell it if I was in his shoes so that I would be able to help my family out. I connected to the book and can really connect to other kids so that they can help their family. I would recommend this book to all the people that like baseball, adventures, and mysteries.

It is prety cool that Joey can go back in time by only a baseball card I would reccomond this book to people who like historial books. This is a really good book.READ IT!!!!!!!

A Great Book

I think it was a great book, because it wasn't to challenging to read. And if you like baseball and the history of the game then this is a great book for you. The author Dan Gutman writes other baseball books.

Summer Street School Lunch Bunch

We enjoyed reading the book very much. Has alot of baseball facts about Honus Wagner. If you like baseball you'll like this book.Fans of Dan Gutman will enjoy this book and his other Baseball Card Adventure Books.
Dan Gutman should write more books like players from the past like Ted Williams.

Honus And Me

Dan Gutman does it again. Honus and Me is a homerun. Join Joe Stoshack when he travels back in time to visit the great Honus Wagner. Joe Stoshack is a thirteen year old boy who has the power to time travel with baseball cards. Joe Stoshack finds a T-206 Honus Wagner card while cleaning his neighbor¿s dusty attic. Honus Wagner played for the Pittsburg Pirates. He has one of greatest batting averages in baseball history. This is Dan Gutman¿s first Baseball Card Adventure. It is a hit. Dan Gutman is on a roll with Jackie and Me, Mickey and Me, Abner and Me, Babe and Me, Shoeless Joe and Me, Satchel and Me, and Jim and Me, these are all Baseball Card Adventures. This book is for fifth grade and up I think that everyone that loves baseball history would like this book. So go out and get Honus and Me. It¿s a homerun!!!
