Last Days of Summer: A Novel by Steve Kluger - 353 pages
The impossible happens when Boston kid Joey Margolis writes to Giants third baseman Charlie Banks. He writes back. They start sending letters back and forth to each other -- eventually meeting and changing each others' lives.
I really enjoyed this book. I loved the idea that a preteen boy could be so annoying that he could actually get a star to write him back, meet him, and become a fixture in his life. It was a little disconcerting at first to read Banks' letters as they were filled with spelling errors, but it quickly just became part of the character.
