From the Pulitzer Prize winning Michael Chabon comes this bestselling
novel that blends fantasy and folklore with that most American
coming-of-age ritual: baseball--now in a new edition, with an
introduction by the author.
Ethan Feld is having a terrible summer: his father has moved them to
Clam Island, Washington, where Ethan has quickly established himself as
the least gifted baseball player the island has ever seen. Ethan's luck
begins to change, however, when a mysterious baseball scout named
Ringfinger Brown and a seven-hundred-and-sixty-five-year-old werefox
enter his life, dragging Ethan into another world called the
Summerlands. But this beautiful, winter-less place is facing destruction
at the hands of the villainous Coyote, and it has been prophesized that
only Ethan can save it.
In this cherished modern classic, the New York Times bestselling
author brings his masterful storytelling, dexterous plotting, and
singularly envisioned characters to a coming-of-age novel for readers of
all ages.
