Life’s cruelties fuel a crisis of faith for the misfit genius as he tries to make sense of an absurd world and the bullies that torment him. Charlie finds solace in his unbridled passion for the game of baseball and his beloved Detroit Tigers, intent on using his brilliant brain to elevate the bottom-dwelling Tigers into a World Series champion.

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.
