Overview
In postwar working-class Brooklyn, two endearing characters chance to meet: an eleven-year-old Irish Catholic boy named Michael Devlin and Rabbi Judah Hirsch, a refugee from Prague. For Michael, the rabbi's stories of ancient magic and wisdom captivate his imagination and transport him to times and places even his beloved comic book heroes haven't been. For the Rabbi, Michael's patient instruction in English, baseball and American culture opens up an equally strange and magical world. But a band of anti-Semitic toughs see no place in their neighborhood for Jews, and their threats are not idle. Trapped in a dangerous spiral of hate, the friends can only hope for a miracle. Poised gracefully between fantasy and reality, this is a tale of friendship, loyalty, Brooklyn, and the remarkable power of words.
