摘要
Like every other kid in his class, Joe Stoscack has to write a report on an African American who's made an important contribution to society. Unlike every other kid in his class, Joe has a special talent: with the help of old baseball cards, he can travel through time. So for his report, Joe decides to go back to meet one of the greatest baseball players ever, Jackie Robinson, to find out what it was like to be the man who broke baseball's color barrier. Joe plans on writing a prize-winning report. But he doesn't plan on a trip that will for a short time change the color of his skin--and forever change his view of history and his definition of courage.Joe Stoshack has really done it this time. When a pitcher insults his Polish heritage, Joe flings his bat and prompts an on-field brawl that ends in a two-team pileup. he's suspended from Little League...indefinitely. At school, his teacher assigns an oral report for Black History Month. The topic? An African-American who has made a significant contribution to American society. The prize for the best report is four tickets to a cool local amusement park. But Joe doesn't know where to begin. If he could just get his hands on a certain Jackie Robinson baseball card...

Gr 4-7-Joe Shostak can travel through time just by holding a baseball card in his hand, and he begins a journey back to 1947 to meet Brooklyn Dodger great Jackie Robinson to finish his report for Black History Month. Joe, who becomes a bat boy for the Dodgers, is there when Robinson becomes the first black professional baseball player. Joe not only time travels, he also is transformed from Caucasian to African American. By watching Robinson endure the pressures of bigotry and hatred when he breaks baseball's color barrier, Joe learns patience, tolerance, and respect. In his new skin, he also learns about segregation and prejudice firsthand. Joe also finds himself in some humorous situations while searching all over Brooklyn for baseball cards that he hopes will make his father rich. Johnny Heller narrates the book by Dan Gutman (Avon/Camelot, 1999) with enthusiasm and energy, conveying accurately and convincingly the voices of Joe, Jackie, and the other characters. Funny, touching, and instructional, the audiobook would be an excellent addition to libraries to generate discussions about racial prejudice and would be a good choice for book reports as well as for sports enthusiasts.-Larry Cooperman, Jacksonville Public Library, FL (c) Copyright 2010.

Joe Stoshack, who traveled into baseball's past in [cf2]Honus and Me[cf1], decides to study Jackie Robinson for Black History Month. Traveling back to 1947, Joe meets Robinson and observes the racism the Brooklyn Dodger encounters as the first African-American major leaguer. Illustrated with historic photographs, this overly purposeful novel tries to compare Robinson's 1947 experiences to the milder prejudice Joe feels when he's called a Polack.

Gr. 4^-7. Joe Stoshack discovered his special power to travel back in time using baseball cards in Gutman's Honus and Me (1997). Now Joe has been assigned a report on a famous African American, and what better way to research the subject, Jackie Robinson, than to take a trip back to 1947? But Joe's wish to know what it was like for Robinson lands Joe in Brooklyn as an African American, and he experiences firsthand the racial prejudice and discrimination of the time. Although he fails in his efforts to make his father rich by bringing baseball cards back from the past when he returns, he gains an appreciation of Robinson's courage and strength in breaking baseball's color barrier. Fans will overlook the simplistic treatment of racism and the relative ease with which Joe's mother grants him permission to time travel and simply enjoy the baseball action, which is enhanced by historical photos of Robinson's rookie year. --Karen Hutt
