review 1: I just read the book Roberto and Me. I finished reading it February 7th 2013. The book is wrote by Dan Gutman. The book is 180 pages long. I rated this book four stars because I really liked it. The best part is that in this book he gets to go to the future. Your going to have to read the book to find out who, why and how the person brings him to the future. He still ends up going to the past. He goes back in time to save Roberto Roberto Clemente. That is the basic information of the book Roberto and Me. The book starts out with the main character Joe Stoshack. He has a bad grade in spanish class and has to get it up. So he decides to talk to his spanish teacher about extra credit. His spanish teacher is in a wheel chair and always keeps a lit candle on her desk. w... morehen he goes to talk to his teacher he asks her why she has the lit candle on the desk. She answered the question saying "I keep a lit candle on my desk because along time ago I had a friend, his name was Roberto Clemente. I was in the hospital because I had an infection in my spine. My family couldn't pay the medical bills. Roberto was going to fly on a plane to help me in the hospital by paying my medical bills because he was a very good baseball player in a big baseball league. When he was in the plain the plain crashed and he died. I never got my medical bills payed. That is why I'm in a wheel chair. I keep the lit candle on my desk as a memory of Roberto." In this book Joe Stoshack decides to back in time to save Roberto Clemente from getting on the plain. Your going to have to read the book to find out what he does in the past and who, how and why does somebody take him to the future.
review 2: Stosh has the unique ability to travel through time using only a baseball card. He holds a card from the year he wants to visit, and suddenly he is there. In Roberto & Me, Stosh travels to 1969 to meet baseball star and humanitarian Roberto Clemente. His goal is to warn Roberto not to take the tragic plane flight that cut his life so short. However, Stosh soon learns changing the future is more difficult than he expected.This book and the other baseball card adventure books are great for young sports enthusiasts. They include baseball facts, but also a glimpse of life in different time periods. The stories are written with enough variety and conflict that even non-baseball lovers can enjoy them. Roberto & Me was a success with my ten-year-old daughter who has never watched a game of baseball in her life. less
