Summerland

Summerland is a magical place, where the local Little League plays baseball on a perfect lawn, and the sun is always shining. However, the small beings known as ferishers, who ensure this perfect weather, are threatened by an ancient enemy and need a hero to vanquish their foe. The ferishers recruit Ethan Feld as their chosen leader. No one is more surprised than Ethan at their choice, but their faith spurs him on. With a motley crew of creatures including a Sasquatch and a werefox, Ethan struggles to defeat giants, goblins, and one of the toughest ball clubs in the realms of magic to save the Summerlands, and, ultimately, the world. Michael Chabon creates a whole new universe richly drawn from American folklore, where the powers of the past and the future, of good and evil, are locked in grand battle. Michael Chabon is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay. His other books include Wonder Boys and The Mysteries of Pittsburgh. He lives in Berkeley, California, with his wife and three children.
