Review this book!
It's the summer of 1943, and 17-year-old Danny Boles, a shortstop from Tenkiller, Oklahoma, heads for Highbridge, Georgia to play for the Highbridge Hellbenders, a Class C farm club. He's a scrappy player with one quirk: a violent encounter on the train to Georgia has left him mute. When the Hellbenders get into a hot pennant race, a strange kinship develops between Danny and his monster-like roommate, Jumbo Hank Clerval.
