This is the 11th in my series of photos inspired by young adult novels. This one was inspired by the Printz award winning novel WHERE THINGS COME BACK written by John Corey Whaley.
"Just when seventeen-year-old Cullen Witter thinks he understands everything about his small and painfully dull Arkansas town, it all disappears. . . . In the summer before Cullen's senior year, a nominally-depressed birdwatcher named John Barling thinks he spots a species of woodpecker thought to be extinct since the 1940s in Lily, Arkansas. His rediscovery of the so-called Lazarus Woodpecker sparks a flurry of press and woodpecker-mania. Soon all the kids are getting woodpecker haircuts and everyone's eating "Lazarus burgers." But as absurd as the town's carnival atmosphere has become, nothing is more startling than the realization that Cullen’s sensitive, gifted fifteen-year-old brother Gabriel has suddenly and inexplicably disappeared.
While Cullen navigates his way through a summer of finding and losing
love, holding his fragile family together, and muddling his way into
adulthood, a young missionary in Africa, who has lost his faith, is
searching for any semblance of meaning wherever he can find it. As
distant as the two stories seem at the start, they are thoughtfully
woven ever closer together and through masterful plotting, brought
face to face in a surprising and harrowing climax."
