John Corey Whaley of Springhill wrote a coming-of-age novel about a teen named Cullen Witter, the disappearance of his brother Gabriel and the sudden fame his small Arkansas town receives after a visitor spots a woodpecker considered extinct.
“Where Things Come Back” has received tremendous acclaim and recently won the Michael L. Printz Award for Excellence in Young Adult Literature and The William C. Morris Debut Award. The National Book Foundation named Whaley one of its 2011 “5 Under 35” authors.
“Where Things Come Back” revolves around the introspective Cullen Witter and the tragedy that befalls his family during a summer of teen angst. Other characters and their stories weave throughout the tale, culminating in a surprising ending that’s both thought-provoking and satisfying. TheAdvertiser.com
