@SarahSpain @AndrewLuria I need this book. My son is an amazing reader and though it’s probably not for his age range but no one can deny good writing and amazing pictures. (from X)

A BOOKLIFE PRIZE FINALIST! Ten-time Emmy Award winner Andrew Luria turns sports history into a hilarious time-traveling adventure, and an EPIC SUMMER READ! The massively popular action-packed Adventures of Charlie Marley series debuts with this Amazon #1 New Release--perfect for fans of the Magic Treehouse and Baseball Card Adventures series. Think Forrest Gump, Back To The Future and Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, based on sports, for kids. Charlie Marley changed history as we know it, which is incredible, considering he's probably the clumsiest kid on God's green earth. All it took was a few wrong turns, a couple of accidental slips and one terribly misguided time-traveling golf cart. Not to mention the threat of the scariest teacher in the universe, Mrs. Cooper the Pooper Scooper! Super-clutz Charlie, school reporter Emma, and ex-ballplayer Midnight McLean have one goal: go back in time to the most embarrassing moment in sports history and make it right. The problem is they can't get there without first encountering Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, Michael Jordan, Babe Zaharias, John Elway and Mary Lou Retton. The clock is ticking and the Time Travel Troop is in hot pursuit. Will they earn their Time Travel Wings by their deadline, or be labeled time travel criminals and sent off to do hard time in a galaxy far, far away? Maybe they should have just done Mrs. Cooper the Pooper Scooper's stupid history report in the first place. ***************************************************************** "Our elementary school boys LOVE this book!" "A very entertaining book for adults and kids alike!" "Middle-school-age-appropriate structure and vocabulary and fast-paced action make this an easy read for fourth to sixth graders, who will enjoy the descriptions of completely unempathetic adults." --The BookLife Prize "Andrew Luria, a real-life news and sports anchor, takes Charlie and Emma on a lively jaunt through space and time, and sports milestones, in this wonderfully-illustrated page-turner." --The BookLife Prize ******************************************************
