Honus and Me is about a boy named Joe Stoshack, AKA, Stosh. Joe lives with his mother and they are very poor.
Joe does odd jobs to help earn a few dollars. While cleaning Mrs. Young's attic, he finds the rarest baseball card in the world, the Honus Wagner T-206, which is worth half a million dollars! How he wishes he could meet Honus. Joe's wishes and dreams just might come true- read Honus and Me to find out.

I recommend this book if you like sports, because it tell you a lot about old time baseball players.

Joe Stoshack loves baseball .  He finds a T-206 1909 Honus Wagner baseball card  while cleaning out his neighbor's attic.  When Joe gets home, he holds the card in his hand and suddenly gets a tingling sensation.  He falls asleep, but when he wakes up, there is a tall, dark figure at the end of his room.  Joe can't believe it's Honus Wagner, the greatest all-around baseball player in history!  Honus is amazed when he finds out how much food costs now.  Then Joe uses the card to go back to 1909 and he plays in Game 7 of the World Series.  What happens when Joe hits a home run?  Read this great book to find out.

In the beginning a boy named Joe Stoshack loves the game of baseball.  He plays Little League, but he isn't very good. His mother is very poor and she gets a job for Joe at their neighbor's house to clean the  attic and she will pay him. While he is cleaning he finds the rarest baseball card - the T-206 Honus Wagner card. He couldn't  believe it.  All of a sudden Honus appears.  Honus and Joe become  friends and would do stuff together.

The real question is should he tell any one?

I really like this book because I love the game of baseball and Honus because he was a great player and man. On a scale from 1-10 I would rate it a 9.
