Where Things Come Back

Winner of the 2012 Michael L. Printz and William C. Morris Awards, this poignant and hilarious story of loss and redemption â€œexplores the process of grief, second chances, and even the meaning of lifeâ€ (Kirkus Reviews).

In the remarkable, bizarre, and heart-wrenching summer before Cullen Witterâ€™s senior year of high school, he is forced to examine everything he thinks he understands about his small and painfully dull Arkansas town. His cousin overdoses; his town becomes absurdly obsessed with the alleged reappearance of an extinct woodpecker; and most troubling of all, his sensitive, gifted fifteen-year-old brother, Gabriel, suddenly and inexplicably disappears.
Â Â Â Â Meanwhile, the crisis of faith spawned by a young missionaryâ€™s disillusion in Africa prompts a frantic search for meaning that has far-reaching consequences. As distant as the two stories initially seem, they are woven together through masterful plotting and merge in a surprising and harrowing climax.
Â Â Â Â This extraordinary tale from a rare literary voice finds wonder in the ordinary and illuminates the hope of second chances.
