Synopsis

During World War II, seventeen-year-old Danny Boles joins a minor league baseball team in rural Georgia, only to discover that his enigmatic teammate Jumbo Clerval harbors an extraordinary secret — he is Frankenstein's monster, still alive after more than a century. This genre-bending novel weaves together Southern gothic atmosphere, baseball lore, and literary homage into a deeply human story of outcasts finding belonging.
