Dan Gutman really can hook a reader. I love the My Weird School series and even though I'm not much of a baseball fan, I totally enjoyed this book.
Stosh has the ability to hold an older baseball card and magically transport himself and a guest to another to that place and time. This time it is to see Satchel Paige. With the help of his little league coach, flip, the pair are set out to determine if Satch is actually the fastest pitcher ever. They bring a radar gun with them to measure, and find some rather tense moments when the past is exposed tot the future.
Boys and girls will like this book, since it doesn't spent too much time focused on baseball itself. It does a great job of taking about the era and what it was like being different in the 1940s.
