Summerland by Michael Chabon

From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay comes an extraordinary tale where imagination collides with myth. Summerland is a dazzling odyssey through worlds both familiar and fantastic — where baseball becomes the key to saving creation itself.

Ethan Feld, the most unlikely of heroes, is a young boy who can barely catch a ball — yet when his father is kidnapped and the delicate threads of the world begin to unravel, he must cross into the realms of magic to set things right. Alongside a mismatched team of friends, giants, and trickster spirits, Ethan embarks on a breathtaking quest that blends folklore, adventure, and the enduring power of belief.

Chabon’s prose bursts with wonder and wit, capturing the timeless joy of childhood and the mythic rhythm of the American spirit. Summerland is not merely a fantasy — it’s a hymn to storytelling itself, filled with heart, imagination, and impossible dreams.
