This was a heart wrenching story about a teenage boy whose younger brother disappears one day, around the same time a woodpecker thought to be extinct makes a resurgence. Or so it seems.

I appreciated the alternating viewpoints, even though that can get heavy handed at times. And I did like how Cullen occasionally refers to himself in the third person-I think I could relate, as I usually lost myself in daydreams as an adolescent myself.
