Perfect for you if...

You loved Percy Jackson or His Dark Materials and want that same blend of mythology and adventure with a distinctly American flavour.
You're a parent or teacher hunting for a book that works for both children and adults without talking down to either.
You appreciate Chabon's intricate plotting and character work but want something more playful and hopeful than his darker novels.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer straight-ahead fantasy without sports mechanics woven into the plot.
You're looking for a quick read. At 500 pages, this requires genuine investment in Chabon's meandering world-building.
You want contemporary realism. This is decidedly fantastical and expects you to embrace the logic of another world entirely.

About this book

Ethan Feld is having a difficult summer after his father moves them to Clam Island, Washington. There, Ethan quickly becomes known as the least talented baseball player on the island. His situation changes when a mysterious baseball scout named Ringfinger Brown and a seven-hundred-and-sixty-five-year-old werefox enter his life, drawing him into another world called the Summerlands. The Summerlands is a beautiful, winter-less place now facing destruction by the villainous Coyote. According to prophecy, only Ethan can save it. This coming-of-age novel blends fantasy and folklore with baseball, combining themes relevant to readers of all ages.
