My son and I both love this series of books. Me, because I see my son so eager to read them, and he, because each presents a new, cleverly-crafted story about the "greats" of baseball. The vocabulary is complex enough to be challenging to his eight year-old mind, while not being overly so, causing him not want to attempt to read them. The concept behind the stories, with the main character using classic baseball cards as his "time machine" to go back in time and interact with classic baseball stars is ingenious, using a modern-day card to bring him back to the present when each adventure concludes. I would recommend this series for any elementary school child, with an extra added benefit to young baseball fans. Having him learning pieces of baseball history while having him eager to read is a super combination in my book.
I tutored a young man in reading through grade school and in 7th grade we found this series. He loved sports and so he picked this and others like it out and we read using my Kindle. He read a chapter and then we would listen to a chapter. Well written books. He didn't like Science Fiction, but this series was the exception, not really SciFi, but the main character has the ability to go back in time to meet the sports figure by holding one of the famous person's baseball cards and returns to home holding a current baseball card. The adventures the main character has is partly based on factual information about the player. Your boys will love these books if they like baseball.
Ted and Me is a great book. FBI finds out Stosh's secret about his ability to go back into time using baseball cards. Before he goes, he finds information about Ted Williams because the FBI want Stosh to prevent Pearl Harbor from happening. He later finds out that Ted is a good person. He tells the future to Ted. After all of this sorts out Stosh later learns that Ted has given $1,000 to him for college an warning him.

Imagine how awesome it would be to transport yourself to any year using nothing but a baseball card. No need for a fancy time machine like a DeLorean or the TARDIS, just a baseball card from the year to which you wanted to travel. That is the premise behind Dan Gutman's excellent "Baseball Card Adventure" series of books.Joe Stoshack is a young boy from Louisville, Kentucky, with a special power. When he holds a baseball card in his hand, he disappears from the present time and reappears in the year the card was manufactured. In previous books, Joe has met the likes of Babe Ruth, Roberto Clemente, Jackie Robinson, and even Ray Chapman. In the latest installment, Ted & Me, Joe travels back to 1941 to meet Ted Williams. It was not entirely Joe's choice this time, though, as the FBI had discovered his talent and recruited him for this special mission. He was to enlist Williams' help in warning the President of the United States of America about the imminent attack on Pearl Harbor. Joe arrives in Philadelphia in time to see the Hall of Famer play in the last game of the season and secure a .406 batting average.Gutman does a great job of engaging the reader in the story and keeping it interesting. He keeps you guessing up until the last page whether Joe will be able to accomplish his mission. I won't spoil it for you here, but I will recommend that you read a few of Gutman's other "Baseball Card Adventure" books before tackling Ted & Me. The first book in the series is Honus & Me, featuring the famous T-206 Honus Wagner baseball card. These are light and enjoyable reads, perfect for baseball fans young and old.
In this book Joe (stosh) goes back in time to try and stop pearl harbor and ends up almost dying from falling off a plane then goes back in time again when Ted is playing baseball and sees Ted bat an average 406. And knows every hit Ted makes. Baseball card adventures Ted and me book 13
That Ted Williams! He hit .408. Nobody's ever beaten that record, and maybe nobody ever will. He almost never struck out, which is very different from most heavy hitters. This is one book in a series of baseball card adventures, where the hero can travel through time using baseball cards. In this case he travels to meet Ted Williams to try to persuade him to stay in baseball rather than join the army and become a fighter pilot. I learned a lot about Ted, a lot about Baseball, and even some things about baseball cards. An excellent book.
I love the & me series it my favorite series. Joe stoshack is a great character.This is my last book I hope dan gutman comes out with more. You should come out with a book called Lou & me I Think Joe stoshack should go back in time and try to save Lou gehric's life by saving his diseaseThank you ,Michael Rocco
