About This Book
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.About the Authors or Illustrators
In 1978, writer Dan Gutman started his career cranking out humorous essays. 15 years later, his fiction books for kids finally made readers laugh. His first novel, They Came From Centerfield, was followed by the Baseball Card Adventure series.
