The Baseball Card Kid - Hardcover
A valuable baseball card, a sinking ship, a distant planet, and vampire tales fill this fast-paced time-travel story.
Brian has felt guilty ever since he destroyed his father's rare Honus Wagner baseball card at the age of four. When the opportunity to acquire a magical time-traveling bracelet presents itself, Brian and his best friend Paul jump at the chance. Using this fantastic device they warp back to the doomed Titanic, the distant reaches of the universe, and a castle in darkest Transylvania in a breathless chase for one of the world's rarest antiquities. Can they make it home with the million-dollar baseball card and make Brian's father happy again?
This sequel to the Disney-Award winning The Comic Book Kid can be read as a standalone book, or as the exciting continuation of the adventures of Brian and Paul.

From the Back Cover:
"Fun and quick reading for elementary and middle school students who are fascinated with time travel, this sequel to Comic Book Kid (Front Street, 2001) offers the reader such amusing tidbits as the magical phrase "SPANKY-SPANKY-SPANKYFLEEBER- FOO" which may malfunction and instead of good luck produce a tuna fish sandwich. Laugh-aloud adventures for the younger reader, this is a novel that also begs to be read to a class. They will titter and guffaw. The author, a junior high teacher of English, knows his audience well. Prolific Australian illustrator Craig Smith contributes great black and white sketches that add to the amusement." --Catholic Library World
"This story will be interesting to boys who like mystery and science fiction." --The Lorgnette, Heart of Texas Reviews
