Honus and Me!

This book is about a kid named Joey Stoshack. His family is poor and could really use some money. Then their neighboor 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 MESSY! He doesn't think that it is worth only 5 bucks but he accepted the offer and wanted to follow through. When he is almost done, he finds one last box. Then a baseball card slips out of the box and falls right in front of him. He realizes that the card is the rarest in the entire world. There are only about 40 of them. It was a Honus Wagner Tobacco Box Card. It was the rarest because the tobacco companies gave out cards in their boxes but Wagner decided that he didn't want to be associated with tobacco. So they stopped making those cards but a few still got out! He went to the store to sell it right away and the seller only offered him $100.00 trying to trick him. Joey refused. Joey then checked how muh the card was worth on the computer, it was worth over $300,000. Then that night the card brought Wagner to his time period. The next day they played a little baseball together. The day after that Joey had a baseball game and he did really bad like usual. Then Honus showed up and told him that he was overstriding when he swung the bat. Then they decided to go to Honus' time period and they went to the 1906 World Series against the Tigers. Ty Cobb and Honus Wagner were the best players on each team the Pirates and the Tigers. The Pirates, ( Honus' team) won! Then when Joey decided to tell Mrs. Young that he took the card instead of throwing it out like he was supposed to. She ripped it up and that was the end of playing ball with Honus!

The End

I rate this book an 8/10 because it was very good and I couldn't put it down because it was about baseball and I like baseball
