Reviews for Jackie & Me
8 ratings5 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is the second book in the Baseball Card Adventure in which Joe Stoshack uses his power to travel through time using baseball cards to meet Jackie Robinson. As an added wrinkle to the story, he initially arrives in 1947 as an African American boy and directly experiences the racial animus of New York at that time. I felt that Jackie Robinson's character in this novel was one-dimensional, too much of a heroic martyr, although the book does offer some nice glimpses of his family life. Meanwhile, it seems too flippant that Stosh is traveling to meet Robinson merely to write a Black History Month report for his school, and spends much of the novel trying to gather rare baseball cards to bring to the future. The lesson of the book is how to stand up to bullies without resorting to anger, which Stosh applies in his own youth baseball games, but seems to miss out on the heart of the Jackie Robinson story in the process.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I had never read any of the Baseball Card series books before. This one is part of our Battle of the Books challenge for this year. This is a great story for any student that loves history and/or baseball. It provides a very realistic portrayal of the racial biases of the period.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5If you like sports books then you would like this book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5When Joe Stoshack goes back to 1947, he thinks he's only going to learn about Jackie Robinson for a report. Instead, he learns what it was like to be black before desegregation. This is a great book.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5In order to write an essay for school, 12 year old Joe Stoshak uses his baseball card collection to travel back to 1947 to meet Jackie Robinson and learns to understand better the racsim Robinson faced as the first African American in major league baseball; Stoshak, who is white, arrives in 1947 as a young black boy. Not great literature, formulaic and predictable, part of Gutman's baseball card series books.(See Honus, Babe, etc.) Young baseball fans LOVE them. Good for sports fans.
