| In Out of Left Field, a novel for teens and adults, Brandon McGinnis is missing his dad, his Red Sox buddy. It's the summer of 2004 and his father has died suddenly. Who will be there to help him root for an end to the eighty-six-year-old drought? The Sox need to win a pennant. Brandon finds out his dad has been keeping a big secret, a really big secret, and it sends him on a journey to discover the truth, all the while keeping an eye on the standings. |
