In this book, a 17-year old boy (Cullen Witter) life seems fairly dull, until a very knowledgeable bird named John Barling says that he has seen some particular types of woodpeckers that were thought to be extinct. Then, Lily is in an outrage, and the town is full of visitors, scientists, and experts trying to figure out if John Barling is correct. And thousands of miles away an African missionary tries to get back his faith in God. And Cullen must also face that his brother has gone missing. Summary of Where Things Come Back
