The Baseball Card Kid - Tapa dura

"Fast-paced. . . . Will especially appeal to boys." --"Library Media Connection" "Definitely writing for readers with short attention spans, Osterweil laces his narrative with middle-grade-style yuks and injects frequent reviews of events into his breathlessly paced tale." --Kirkus Reviews "Fast-paced. . . . Will especially appeal to boys." --Library Media Connection

A valuable baseball card, a sinking ship, a distant planet, and vampire tales fill this fast-paced time-travel story. When an advertisement for a TimeQuest 2 comic with a new no-change feature suddenly attracts Paul and Brian, their only question is this: How do you mail something to the year 100,000? As soon as they figure that out, they head out on a quest to replace a mint condition Honus Wagner Baseball Card that Brian accidentally destroyed when he was younger. To find it, all they have to do is warp the space-time continuum to the year 1912, board the Titanic, and find Brian's Great Uncle Sean. No problem. But the boys soon find themselves in some sticky situations. As the TimeQuest 2 Comic magically chronicles their travels, the boys discover that their actions have doomed all of humankind. Now they must travel to the distant reaches of the universe and the darkest Transylvania to set things right again. Can they fix the world and make it home with the million-dollar baseball card before it's too late?
