In "Jackie & Me" by Dan Gutman, young Joe Stoshack discovers he has the ability to travel back in time. When his class project on Jackie Robinson prompts him to visit the past, he finds himself in 1947, right when Robinson is breaking the color barrier in Major League Baseball. As Joe witnesses the challenges and triumphs of Robinson’s life, he learns important lessons about courage, racism, and perseverance. This exciting adventure not only brings him closer to understanding the significance of Robinson's legacy but also inspires him to stand up for what is right in his own life.
