Shoeless Joe & Me

I just finished reading the book Shoeless Joe & Me By: Dan Gutman and it was a very exciting book. This book is part of a baseball collection. The first book that I read from this collection was Jackie & Me and I found that book really good that decided to look at the collection once again to see what book I would like next. That is when I found Shoeless Joe & Me and thought that it would be the perfect book for me. These books are based around the idea of baseball and time travel which I thought would be interesting because you don't find that many books with those two ideas put together.

The main character in the book is a boy named Joe Stoshack and he loves baseball. I like how Dan Gutman used him in the book. When I first started reading the book, I thought the character was cliched. It seemed like any other baseball book with a kid who loves baseball and he would want to meet the best baseball player in the world. But the suspenseful situation he was in, really made the book fun and interesting and made me hardly put the book down. I am not much of a reader, but when I find a book that I like, I can't stop reading it. I also love learning about history and this book took you back to the year 1919 in a fun way with original black and white pictures from that time involving the famous baseball player Shoeless Joe Jackson. I recommend this book to anybody of all ages because I know you will enjoy it as much as I did. If you like suspense and action books, this book is the right one for you. I read the entire collection and I loved every one of those baseball card adventures. If you don't like baseball, after this book you will want to go outside and play the game. This book showed me the past, present and future of the game known as baseball. <NS>
