Summerland, Michael Chabon
This is so on Daniel's Christmas list this morning. Skillfull weaving of fairy tale elements with baseball, written for young adult eyes. It feels like it has some parallels to Gaiman's American Gods - fairy tales from an assortment of cultures crashing together around American tables, but it by no means the same story. I was especially impressed that Chabon was able to write about baseball in a way that helped me understand the story he was weaving through the game, and made me care about it - a feat my friends will understand as challenging. Highly recommended.
