Book Review Of Ted & Me

       My book that I read this semester was Ted & Me by Dan Gutman. It is a book about a boy that plays baseball and has a gift. The gift is that he has the power to travel back in time by using baseball cards. So the FBI found out about him and they wanted him to go back in time and stop Pearl Harbor of every happening by finding the President of the United States in 1941. So the FBI gave him a Ted Williams card and it was made in 1941. That was Ted Williams best year because that was the year he hit .406 and that is the bests of all time. The FBI said that that was the best person to help the boy on his mission.
       I liked a lot of things about this book. One thing that I liked about the book was that it was about baseball and about Ted Williams who was on my favorite baseball a long time ago. Another thing it was cool that in the book they talked about a lot of things how Ted did before games to prepare for games. I think that was cool because I learned that the night before he cleans his bat so he can take one once of weight off his bat so he can swing faster. Another thing he did was that he did pull ups and push ups every day even if he had a game or not because he wanted to get stronger. When they were going fishing Ted taught the boy how to swing a bat on the boat. That was a good part because I loved how he taught him how to bat he did not even take a swing of a bat just from questions that the boy answered made Ted know how to teach him and told him that he was doing every thing wrong. I liked this book because I play baseball and it had a lot of useful information and had a good story to go with it.
       I recommend this book to anyone who likes baseball or any thing to do with Ted Williams. I think the age group for this book should be 11 and up because it as a good story for kids, but for any one that knows about Ted Williams they would love the book. I would rate this book 4 stars on a scale of 1-4 stars. I think that because I enjoyed reading this book and I do not like reading that much, but I did like this one. I think this book would be good for a lot of people that like any thing about or know any thing about baseball because there are not a lot a fantasy books that are about baseball and this is one of them so people should read this great book.
