Thirteen-year-old Charlie Unger’s over-the-top dedication to the game of baseball and his beloved Detroit Tigers provide his only solace while struggling with the death of his mother and contemplating whether God exists. Using his genius-level IQ and a masterful understanding of the game, Charlie sets out to elevate the Tigers from the bottom of the standings to a championship team.

When Jasmine Bouba emigrates from Cameroon to Detroit because of a family tragedy, she develops an unlikely friendship with the odd redheaded kid across the street.

Charlie’s commitment to making the Tigers great again takes an unforeseen turn when his father’s unexpected prowess on the baseball diamond provides them both with an opportunity of a lifetime.

The Perfect Season is a celebration of the game of baseball; however, the themes of love, loss, racism and religion run deep through this novel.
