Young Adult.

Reader reviews for Sons from Afar, 6

From the publisher

Will a common cause unite two brothers--or drive them further apart? Find out in the sixth installment of Cynthia Voigt's Tillerman cycle.

If James and Sammy Tillerman agree on anything, it's that they have nothing in common. Sammy is a tough jock, while James is an intellectual who has begun to question his identity. Then James enlists his brother's help to find Francis Verricker, who may be the father who deserted them long ago. Through this quest, the brothers learn more about themselves than they thought possible.
Cynthia Voigt writes realistically of human failure--and triumph--in this poignant novel from her acclaimed Tillerman cycle.
