Fenway Fever
“A funny, exciting, original, and heart-warming novel that even readers who aren’t Red Sox fans will love.”
— Peter Abrahams, New York Times bestselling author and lifelong Red Sox fan
Fenway Fever
"Stats" Pagano may have been born with a heart defect, but he lives for three things: his family's hot dog stand right outside fabled Fenway Park, his beloved Red Sox, and any baseball statistic imaginable. When the family can no longer make ends meet with the hot dog stand, life becomes worrisome for Stats. Then the Sox go on a long losing streak and the team's ace pitcher—and Stats's idol—becomes convinced the famed Curse of the Bambino has returned. As the Sox faithful sour on their team, Stats forms a plan that ultimately unifies an entire city and proves that true loyalty has a magic all its own.
