Shoeless Joe and Me is a book about a boy named Joe Stoshack who travels back in time with a baseball card. Once back in time he meets the person on the card. Joe learns about the 1919 Black Sox Scandal. Since Joe Jackson is involved in the gambling scandal he can't go into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Joe travels back into time and tries to stop Joe Jackson from ever taking part in the scandal. If Joe Stoshack can stop Joe Jackson from being involved in the scandal he can be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

I recommend this book to readers who enjoy sports book. This book is a page turner. I really loved it.

Shoeless Joe is my favorite Dan Gutman book. I love that the book is full of baseball facts and dilemmas with the characters. Joe Stoshack travels back to the 1919 World Series to learn about the Chicago Black Sox World Series scandal. And what a scandal it is- the Black Sox players are bribed by Arnold Rothstein to throw the World Series. To find out what happens to Joe read Shoeless Joe and Me.

I give this book a 9 out of 10. I recommend this book to anyone who likes baseball.

Joe Stoshack learns about the scandal between, the Reds and the Chicago White Sox baseball teams in 1919. The scandal is referred to as the Black Sox Scandal. Could it be true that Shoeless Joe was involved in this scandal? Joe Stoshack travels back in time to try and stop the scandal from happening. Can he do it?

Baseball enthusiasts will enjoy reading this historical fiction book.. I especially enjoyed this story, because I love baseball, and reading about the adventures of Joe Stoschak
