From Publishers Weekly

This installment of the Tillerman saga (begun in Homecoming) focuses on the Tillerman brothers' search for the father who abandoned them; PW said the work "rings with truth and compassion." Ages 12-up.

From School Library Journal

Grade 6-8 In this continuation of the Tillerman saga, the focus is on brothers James and Sammy. Always the questioner, James is determined to find the father he never knew. His main objective is to see if his own character traits, especially his intelligence, which sets him apart, are inherited from this shadowy figure from the past. Reluctantly, Sammy joins in on the search, which is made more difficult because they do not confide in Gram, nor older sister Dicey, who is away at college. Readers are drawn into the hunt, hoping that the merchant seaman father is found, yet fearing what kind of man he will turn out to be. (Those familiar with Voigt's Runner Atheneum, 1985 already have an idea.) Voigt is wise to make the search inconclusive; it ends at a waterfront bar in a fight with ex-associates of their father. Yet the story itself comes to a conclusion, for James has found himself and has at least become more comfortable with his unique qualities. The theme of fatherhood is woven throughout the narrative, including Greek myths and the fathers of friends. And while the search is the main element in this story, Voigt allows her characters to pursue other interests along the way. Readers who are not familiar with the earlier Tillerman novels, such as Homecoming (1981) and Dicey's Song (1982, both Atheneum), will have no problem finding their place in this story, as Voigt fills in enough of the background to cover any questions. However, they will no doubt be motivated to go back to the earlier episodes to become further acquainted with these characters who have remained marvelously consistent under Voigt's hand. Just as James' search drives him to the conclusion, so will readers be compelled to stay with his story from start to finish. Susan Schuller, Milwaukee Public Library

5.0étoiles sur 5 This book is Awesome!, Avril 29 2000
Par Un client
This review is from: Sons From Afar (Mass Market Paperback)
I just finished reading this book and I have read all the books before it, this is just as good as the rest. Most books don't keep my interest but these did. The Tillermans never give up they go after what they want and don't care what others say. I reccomend this book for any one, but I do think it would be helpful to read Homecoming, Dicey's Song, and A Solitary Blue before this one.

4.0étoiles sur 5 A Brother's Perspective, Avril 17 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: Sons From Afar (Mass Market Paperback)
Sons From Afar, by Cynthia Voigt was another huge success. In this particular book, the main characters are James & Sammy. James was the kind of person who wished to find out about his lost father because of his feelings in high school on how "being a dork isn't going to get you anywhere." He believes that since all the boys his age had fathers, they were all taught how to catch a ball ever since they were little. Although James had good grades, he wants to find a sport he could play well on. For Sammy, he's like the opposite of James. He's very active: participating in tennis and always being full of energy. When Sammy learned that James wanted to find their father, he didn't hesitate. He even entered a bar that says "no kids allowed" just to find his father! This was how Cynthia Voigt made this book interesting: describing the differences and problems of two brothers that can also happen in our every day lives. On every single page, there is excitement and adventure to make the reader satisfied on what he or she is reading. I have enjoyed this book, and this book will be an excellent choice for people who want to read about young adult fiction.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Good Book, Avril 27 2002
Par "mellowyellow15" (Philadelphia, PA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Sons From Afar (Mass Market Paperback)
I thought thatthis book was really good. It really held my attention and was a quick read. It wasn't as good as Homecoming and Dicey's Song were, but it was still really good nd definatly worth reading. It's about Sammy and James going to find their father. I have to say, the plot is a little strange but the book itsself is still really really good. It's one of my favorites.
