Summerland, by Michael Chabon (The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, Wonder Boys, The Mysteries of Pittsburgh), is a fantasy about young children saving the world from evil by playing baseball, the central theme and symbol throughout the novel. Often touted as a Native American version of The Chronicles of Narnia, Summerland weaves elements of a World Series, parallel-universe road trip, and a hero's odyssey into a story read by both children and adults. Not only for baseball and Chabon fans, Summerland is a work from an author that is not known for fantasy stories.
