During the summer before Cullen Witter's senior year, everything changes in his little town of Lily, Arkansas. Birdwatcher John Barling comes to town claiming there were sightings of an extinct woodpecker creating quite a stir in town. Then the unthinkable happens: his brother Gabriel disappears. Meanwhile Benton Sage leaves Atlanta on a mission trip to Ethiopia which changes his life as well as his college roommate, Cabot Searcy. This was an amazing read. The stories of Cullen and Benton/Cabot seem so far off but eventually, they do come together in an unexpected twist. I think more young adults will relate to Cullen and how he perceives the woodpecker craze in his little town. I strongly recommend this award winning novel.
