Processing books for RFID in Children's, I came across books by Dan Gutman, which caught my eye. This one I took, read, and enjoyed. A kid can travel through time by holding baseball cards; he goes to the year of the card. Sort of Back to the Future, toned down for ages 9-12. He travels back to warn Roberto Clemente to not get on the fated airplane. Clemente talks with him, does a little preaching, and sends him off. That part was fun enough. But when the kid's great-grandson comes from the future to take him to the year 2080, to show him the effects of global warming, it got a little preachy. Still, for 9 year old boys, I suppose it works.
