This is a nice fiction story not as good but up in the ranks with "Field of Dreams." A boys travels back in time to see the greats from the early years of baseball. Great nostalgia and fantasy esoecially if you like stories involving time travel. The cover is the famous rare Honus Wagner card worth more than any other baseball card because of its rarity. The book includes some very interesting non-fiction about how the card came about and why it is so rare.

This is one of the best in the Joe Stoshack series, the boy who travels in time to meet some of baseball's legends. Gutman excels at evoking baseball's early years, when the game was more intimate and perhaps rougher. Gutman really did his research: "People were hanging all over the fence, and there were seats in front [italics] of the fence. The only thing keeping fans away from the playing field was a rope." Gutman also includes some play by play descriptions from the 1909 Series.

Gutman supplements these descriptions with newspaper clipings, great photos (including one of Wagner and Cobb, and what I assume is the Detroit field, "Bennett Park," in 1909), a reproduction of the T-206 Wagner, stats, a 2-page baseball "tips" piece written by Wagner in 1950, and a short section that separates the book's facts from fiction.

There's a minor romantic subplot that seemed a bit contrived, but it's incidental to the main action here. Wagner comes off as an admirable man with a wonderful sense of humor, and Gutman, as usual, shares with us his great affection for the game.

my 7 1/2 year old son (he's an above-grade reader) has read all five, and loved all of, dan gutman's baseball card books. i had the privilege of listening to one on tape -- this one, honus & me. it is well-told with great morality lessons and interesting historical information. Dan Gutman is the perfect author for baseball loving little boys. We both cant wait for his next.

A Sports Lovers Fantasy!!!!!
Honus and Me by
Dan Gutman

This is a book about a kid who loves sports.In this book he finds thathe has a magical he can go back in time and visit famous baseball players from that time.
A exciting part in this book is when Hounus is playing in the world series.((As honus trooted in from his shortstop position at the end of the inning, he looked straight at me and patted his right shoulderwith his left hand.)) (( The signal.)) You will have to read the book to see what is going to happen.
I think probally a boy who likes sports books would like this story.This book has fantasy,history, and many other subjects.It is a great mystery and pepole who like old baseball history would ike this book to.
I would give this book a 4 out of 5. It is a short bookso if you need to do a book project it is very easy to read and a very fun book to read.This is my favorite book of all time and I would recomnd this book.

The book that I read was really good. it is called Honus and Me by Dan Gutman. If you like baseball,then I think you would like this book. It is about a kid names Stosh who plays baseball, he's also a big baseball card collector. One day, he finds a Honus Wagner card! (these are very rare) Stosh isn't rich but he wouldn't call himself poor. His parents split up when he was younger and his mom doesn't make that much money. The card that he was holding was worth half a million dollars! Stosh goes to bed that night and wishes that he could go back in time and meet Honus himself. He feels a tingling sensation in the tips of his fingers just before he falls asleep. It turns out that he has the ability to go back in time! This adventure continues throughout the book as Stosh and Honus play in the world series and sign autograpghs. This action packed adventure is really good and everyone should read it. Even if you don't like baseball, you should also read other books by Dan Gutman.

Are you looking to encourage a young man to read a little more? Possibly have a discussion with him about history or baseball? I would recommend to you "Honus and Me." Although it is predictable, corny and slightly far-fetched, it was a fun read. The author researched the subject and era and tries to present historical information as accurately as possible (as a history teacher, thank you!), and even discussed his research at the end. The result, an adult/mentor is able to talk about the work a historian does (or even extend it to a talk on the scientific method) and use a subject that is usually not considered "historically important", but is fun for boys--baseball. Give it a shot. What do you have to lose?

This book is magical. I am an adult who is not a great baseball fan but truly enjoyed this book. The book has many statistics but they are written in an interesting way that makes the baseball events come alive, you also gain respect for Honus Wagner. The story is recommended for children but it is still enjoyable for adults. I will recommend this book to everyone. The book recently won an award from the National Reading Association for being the BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR (2001) for secondary students!

My 10 year daughter and my husband share a love for baseball, nostaglia, and reading. This book covers all 3. She read it first and then gave it to her Dad who read it in a hour or two. They both loved it and my daughter then read Jackie and Me. But Honus and Me still remains her favorite. She is ready to read Babe and Me.

Joe just can't seem to ignore the taunts of other ballplayers, and his batting average is the pits. Filled with gloom, he really believes his life is at its nadir. Then, Joe does a good deed for his elderly neighbor, Miss Young, and is truly rewarded. He discovers a Honus Wagner baseball card in mint condition while cleaning Miss Young's attic. The card transports him back in time to the 1909 World Series where he meets Honus, substitutes for him in a game, learns how to believe in himself, and reunites Miss Young with her long lost boyfriend Honus. Farfetched indeed, but fun to read whether or not you are a baseball fan. Gutman provides facts as well as black and white photos to his entertaining story.

When our group read the book, we really liked it. We are sixth grade students. We thought the book had good description and good parts. A kid named Joe found a card that was worth half a million dollars. The card took him back into time. The part we liked was when we learned about Honus Wagner. Honus was one of the greatest players on the Pittsburg Pirates. This was our favorite book this year. We liked it a lot. Good Bye. From your readers from Hatboro-Horsham.

Honus And Me is a great book about baseball.I highly reckamend that you read this exiting novel.

To start out my review, I would like to point out that "Honus and Me" is not correct grammar. It should be "Honus and I", but then again, "Honus and Me" sounds more like it's coming from a kid's point of view, and that's exactly where it comes from. Joe Stoshack tells the story of a strange feeling he gets when he holds a baseball card, and how it turns into something else. This book contains true information about Honus Wagner. I listened to the book on tape, and at the end, they explained some more about Honus. I'm not sure if that is in the book or not. The ending left something to be desired, I felt, but I still enjoyed it! I would definately recommend this book to any baseball fan!

Honus and Me is a great book. It's about this little boy named Joe. He loves to collect baseball cards. One day he bought a pack of cards and found a one-of-a-kind Honus Wagner card, What he didn't know was that the card had a special power, ( You need to read the book to find out)

My favorite character was Joe. He was a good kid who loved baseball. I like him a lot because I am a big sports fan also.

My favorite part of the book was when Joe played in the major league game. He got to experience something that no other kid has done before.

I would encourage SPORTS FANS to read this book. Even if you aren't a big sports fan I still think you would really enjoy this book.

This is a great story- a never-put-it-down novel. Exciting and entertaining, the chapters go by in seconds. Dan Gutman does a great job of keeping the space-time continuim together and displays his excellency in this first-of-many series.

Have you ever been not-so-great at something that you really liked to do? This story is about a boy named Joe who isn't so good at baseball. Joe gains his confidence in a surprising way.

The story of Honus and Me is exciting. I would reccomend Honus and Me to kids who like baseball and baseball legends.

I am an elementary school teacher with a reluctant reader for a son! Go figure! I brought this book for him to read and he has loved it so far! I have already read Jackie and Me and absolutely loved it! My problem is that it mentions the "n" word 4 times. I am an African American and do not feel that elementary school kids are ready for this word. Others disagree with me but just be ready to explain the meaning of this word if you read Jackie and Me. Needless to say, I will not rush to make my son read it probably until at least 5th grade.

When a boy finds a VERY RARE baseball card in someone's attic, he is faced with the decision whether to return it or not. There are only 40 of these cards in the world! With this card he is able to meet the baseball star Honus Wagner. He goes back in time and finds himself an adult, bats for Honus Wagner because Honus's hand was hurt, and actually hits a home run! I am no baseball fan, but I have read ALL of Dan's books about baseball and loved them, and this was probably my favorite. P.S. This has a surprising ending, which is really cool, but I'll let you find out about that for yourself!

Honus & Me is a great blend of baseball history, time-travel fantasy and surprises. Joe, the underdog main character, thinks he has found the ticket to Easy Street when he finds the rarest of all baseball cards, a T-206 Honus Wagner. Little does he suspect what power this valuable piece of cardboard holds for him. This fast-moving story will satisfy baseball buffs and will leave them wanting more. No problem! Gutman has written Babe & Me and Jackie & Me, with perhaps more to come.

I thought this was a very good book. I am not an avid baseball fan, but this book is good for anyone who enjoys historical/fantasy fiction. I would recommend this book for anyone, in or not in the recommended ages.

Me and my mom started reading this book right after school ended in June. I'm going into 4th grade now. Every night, we would say we were going to read 2 or 3 chapters, but we just couldn't put the book down...it was so cool and I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next. My mom is going to buy me Babe and me...I hope I will like it as much as Honus and me. So far, it has been my favorite book.

who its amazing how is it done great writing great imagination great baseball facts its all great! I cant believe my eyes it was so good I practicly read it in one day because it was so exciting I couldent stop! WISH I COULD TELL YOU MORE BUT I DONT WANT TO SPOIL IT!

i hate to read but for somone that hates to read i loved it. it was very exicting i never i wanted to stop reading it cause i loved it so much i hope that you will love it to.

I loved Honus and Me because it is really rare to find a Honus Wagner card. A time travel book and a sports book combo was great! The only problem with this book was that I couldn't put it down. I am reading Jackie and Me now and I can't wait for Babe and Me.

Honus and Me is a charming and funny story about a young boy's time-travel meeting with legendary Pittsburgh shortstop Honus Wagner. Wagner takes him (and the reader) back to a time when one could see a pro ballgame for 75 cents and when ball players never knew of the multi-million dollar salaries that infuse today's game with so much greed. Every boy or girl playing baseball today could learn from the gentle morals of this story.

This is a fanastic book I really enjoy it alot.My favorite part is the part when Honus tell's joe to bat and he hits a ball to second and then steals to third after a wild pitch he goes to home and is.... You have to read this.

A beatifully written short book that captivated my 6 year old baseball fan for an entire morning. We read the book through in one sitting. Fabulous, touching and thoughtfully written, a modern gem. 6 Stars.

This is a great book! First, Honus comes to the future to meet Joe Stoshack and then they both go back to Honus's time. Joe gets his dream and gets to play in a professionall game. At the end something REALLY COOL happens. I encourage all kids who are interested in baseball to read this book. P.S. I'm not giving any more away otherwise I would ruin the surprise!

I like this book because I think it would be fun to travel back in time with Honus Wagner. I also liked it when Joe had to bat. I can't believe people couldn't tell who was Joe and who was honus Wagner!

Honus and me was an exhalent by Dan Gutman. I would rate this book a 5 out of 5. I would rate this book a 5 out of 5 because it was an exalent book that tought me that anything is possible and to never get your self down and do what your heart desires. I recommend this book for people who like sports or if you like Honus Wagner. This book is historical fiction. Honus and me is about a boy who finds a baseball card that is worth over a half of a million dollers and travels Honus Wagner back in time and gets to talk to him about his career.

My 2nd grader has recently started reading this series. HONUS AND ME was quite the pageturner for him; my son really enjoyed it and learned baseball facts along the way.

Joey Stoshack, a thirteen year old boy, has the power to travel back in time by using old baseball cards. While he is time traveling, he is trying to meet famous baseball players from the past such as Lou Gehrig, Honus Wagner, and Jackie Robinson. I can relate to this character because Joey has dreams of meeting famous baseball players. The character also has a perfectly normal teenage life, just like me, except for the traveling through time part. Joey is an excellent baseball player, and plays shortstop. Just like Joey, I practice baseball at least ten hours a week.

This author, Dan Gutman, also writes a ton of other books. He writes Jackie and Me, Shoeless Joe and Me, and Honus and Me. He generally writes his books based on sports. If you like sports, I would definitely recommend this author. He writes his baseball books with a little bit of science fiction in them, which I really enjoy. Dan makes the reader get interested in the book right away. The author has convinced me to want to go back in time and become a teammate of Shoeless Joe Jackson.

I recommend this book to anybody that has a dream of meeting a famous baseball player from the past. I enjoyed this book and I think that anybody that reads it will like it as well.

The book I am reviewing is Honus & Me written by Dan Gutman. I think this deserves four stars. It's a very good book because it is about baseball and adventure. It has the world's most valuable card. This book is about a boy who is not very good at baseball. One day he is cleaning his neighbor's house, who is very old. When he finds an old baseball card and a ripped picture of the old lady When he touches the card he feels a tingling feeling. When he holds the card long enough he goes into the year 1909. When he travels in time Honus asks him questions. Then he takes Joey (the boy) to the World Series game but the manager ripped the card. Honus gave Joey a new card and also gave him the other half of the picture. Last he is able to return to his own time and used what he learned. I'd recommend this book to a person who likes to read about adventure and sport history.

This was a terrific book! This book was a historical fiction, mystery, and was an adventure. You would like this book if you are interested in baseball. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a book giving info on a past historical person. You will learn a lot about baseball and you will learn a lot about Honus Wagner. This book was a page turner because of the many conflicts that arise. Every ending in a chapter ended in a cliffhanger. Part of one cliffhanger was that Stoshack goes to the card shop and ends. Stoshack makes you wonder that if this card is really valuable or a piece of garbage. I would like to read another book from this author because all that Dan Gutman writes is famous baseball players meeting the present day. This book was definitely not boring and you should see for yourself. It gives too much info and too much suspense for you to get bored. This book was awesome and I hope that you will read it too!

It was an all-around good book. I liked it, because it was about baseball. I recommend this to you if you like short-quick sports books. I liked how his baseball cards are "magical."

Dan Gutman won 15 state book awards. He wrote the book called Honus & Me.
Honus & Me is about a kid who can travel back through time with baseball cards. The kid's name is Joey. Joey brings Honus forward to his place in time. Honus teaches Joey the secret of playing baseball.
Dan Gutman is a great author. Dan Gutman was born in New York City, on October 19, 1995. Dan wanted to write humorous books and essays. Dan's first essay sold for $15.00 to a newspaper.
I think this one of the greatest books I ever read. It's funny, and it adventurous. My opinion this is a book that people should read.

The novel, Honus and Me was an exciting book to read. I enjoyed this book because it was based on sports. (Baseball) this was cool cause I could make a lot of connections.
There were a couple of scenes in Honus and Me that were truly enjoyable. Including when Stoshack batted for Honus while Honus cleaned up his hand after Ty Cobb's cleats spiked him. Another favorite scene was when Miss Young came out with her shotgun and broke the fight up between Stoshack and Birdie who was trying to take the t-206 Honus Wagner card.
If I could change one thing in this book I would have let Stoshack keep at least one of the Honus cards. I think the author didn't let him because he was trying to show a lesson.
A few things were learned from reading this book such as always doing the wright thing. Even if it can make you mad. One thing I gained from reading this book was that even if people are bowlegged they shouldn't be judged.

This is a great chapter book for kids that love baseball, baseball history and baseball card collecting. Recommend this book and authors other books

The book i read was Honus and Me by Dan Gutman. I thought that this book was an ok book because some parts of the book were not very clear and boring. The good things about this book is that it is a baseball series and and they have very good baseball player in it [Honus Wagner] and thats what makes this book good and interesting. If I had to rate this book i on a five star scale i would give it a 3 1/2 stars for this book because it was an average book cause of the weak parts. So I think that that you should read this book but you don't have too.


6th Grader From Orono,Maine Christian Corneil

My son, not an avid reader by any stretch, and I, read this book together. It is a wonderful fantasy/fact novel featuring Joe Stoshack, a young baseball player who finds out that he can time travel with the assistance of a baseball card. This particular adventure sends him to Pittsburgh to meet Honus Wagner, Pirate great. Great fun and good life lessons!

Hounus and Me is a book about baseball and a boy named stosh. He travels back in time with a great baseaball player named Hounus Wagner. You will enjoy it if you are interested in baseball. i liked it because it was hard to stop taking breaks. once you started it was hard to stop. If I were to recomend it to a reader, it would be to someone sixth grade and up. Hounus and Me is a great book and I prefer you read it.

I liked this book becase it shows how houns wagner was a all around good player that was very good at what he did and it tells about the little boy that goes back in time his name is joe stochak so one day he was cleaning a attick and he picked up a box that fell apart he did not think nothing of it at first until he got a closer look at it was one ot the rarest cards in the world and i also think it was good becase of the ending

In the middle of the night, Joe wakes up to find himself face-to-face with the star of the 1909 World Series-Honus Wagner! They're about to travel through time on an amazing journey that will change both their lives forever!

The Time of the book was 1998 and 1909. Pittsburgh and Forbes Field.

Joey, who loves baseball but is not very good at it, finds a valuable 1909 Honus Wagner card and travels back in time to meet Honus.

I Liked this story a lot because it is very interesting.When i ever i read this book,it never got boring! There was always a good part and a exciting part. I am looking forward to reading another book of the author. I give it Two Thumbs Up !!!

Joe Stoshack, or Stosh, is the main character of this book. The book says that he liked having money, but couldn't necessarily have very much after his parent's gruesome divorce. After the divorce he moved in with his mom. His mom was a nurse at a hospital. She was one of those "does the right thing" sorts of people. His dad was the exact opposite. That seems to be a pretty good reason to get a divorce. Stosh found a job so he would have some pocket money. He was be paid 5 dollars a day to clean out the attic of an elderly women in his neighborhood. When searching through some old boxes, he came upon a very valuable 1909 Honus Wagner baseball card in mint condition. He knew that this could be his chance to be rich. What Stosh doesn't know, is that this card is his chance to travel into time and win the World Series for the Pittsburg Pirates baseball team. When he touched the card he got a tingly feeling in his hand. He took the card home with him and slept with it in his hand, wishing for a chance to meet Honus Wagner. When he wakes up, there is Honus Wagner sitting in front of him. Stosh believes that this is a man dressed up has Honus trying to steal his valuable, mint-condition, baseball card. After a few pondering moments, he realizes that the strange man dressed up as Honus Wagner was in fact Honus himself. Shortly afterwards, Stosh falls back to sleep, believing that this was all a dream. When he wakes up for the second time, Honus Wagner was no longer there. He then gets up and gets ready for his upcoming baseball game. At the game, Stosh hit the ball upwards and the catcher caught it. His team lost the game. He walked back home with his head sagging and upon arrival, he sees Honus Wagner sitting on his front steps.
Honus Wagner's mysterious appearance in Stosh's bedroom was all because of the baseball card. That one single card allowed Stosh to obtain the once in a life time opportunity of meeting Honus Wagner.
After I bought this book, I could not put it down. In fact, I finished the entire thing in one night! Since I had such an amazing time with this book and its story line, I gave it 4 out of 5 stars.

If you are looking for a great, fun, thriller then Honus & Me is your book! This is a book that throws you back to the early 20th century. This book makes you feel like you in Honus' shoes, and also the boy that travels back in time, Joe Stoshack. The book even shows pictures of Honus, from the early 1900's. This is a great book that I would definately refer if you are anywhere from age 8-13. This is one of my favortites, hope it's one of yours, too!

This book can get you:into the series,Into history,And into Honus Wagner so fast.

I read honus and me and i loved it!! Its one of my all time favorite books! I recommend it to anyone who would like to read a great baseball story. Deffinetly a five star story.

Joe Stoshack (Stosh) always felt a tingling sensation when he held a baseball card, but one night something extraordinary happened - Something that will probably change his life forever!!!
Stosh got hold of a Honus Wanger baseball card and wished he could meet Honus...then he woke up that night and there Honus was sitting on a chair. Stosh was amazed. He thought it was a dream, but it felt so real. But then about a day later Honus ask if he could see his time. So Stosh tried and when he woke up he was in a whole other time.
Does Stosh get home? Is it a dream? Oh yeah - there is one thing I left out...you'll have to read the first of Stosh's baseball card adventures to find out!!!

By Elayna B

I loved this book because it have all the action that real baseball do not have.This book is about a boy named Joe stoshack he can travel through time with baseball cards and meet a man named Honus wager that teach him money is not all ways important. This book have all the drama and action that a baseball movie have.

This book is about a base ballplayer named Houns Wanger & a boy named Sastoa. This is a awesom sports book, in my opinion. Honus is a awesom baseball player whose catcher said "he was the best baseball player, and he caught flies like nothing he could throw from his back all the way to first base for the out". Sastos meets Honus by using his baseball cards to travel back through time.

I like the book Honus and Me by Dan Gutman because I like baseball books and baseball.I know we can't travel through time, but if we could it would be cool, so we could meet some of these baseball players.

This book is about a boy named Joey Stoshack. I thought this book was awesome because it involves baseball and I really like baseball and once I started reading I couldn't put the book down. Joe has lots of magical cards. In this book Joey wants to change the future by talking to Honus Wagner to not make a deal with gamblers. Joey back in the past and tells Honus about the whole situation. Will Joey change the future? If you want to know read this book.

Honus and Me is about a boy called Joe, who finds a extremely rare card that is worth half a million dollars. Then he finds out he has some sort of magic power with baseball cards. Using his special power he meets Honus Wagner, who has a lot of similarities. Honus and Joe become really good friends, and they help make each others dream come true.
