Jackie and Me

Have you read Jackie and Me by Dan Gutman?

It is a baseball card adventure book filled with time travel, action, and even a lesson at the end.
The main character (Joe) has to do a project for Black History Month, so he chooses Jackie Robinson.  Joe travels back in time and becomes a bat boy for the Dodgers.   The book is accurate in its baseball statistics, but it also shows the harsh racial prejudices of that time period.

Here's what our we had to say about the book:



Some book silliness...
