Sons from Afar (6) (The Tillerman Cycle)

This was a purchase for my daughter, for school. Apparently it was a great read and helped raise her AR scores.

Perfect for my collection

In this book, Cynthia delves into the character of the boys.She weaves a picture of their struggles and conflict of growing up without a father. The development of the characters is one of the many good things about this book, however not quite as exciting as the others. If this had been one at the beginning is the series, I'm not quite sure I would have read any more. The book is enjoyable but just an average read.

Wonderful story. Have shared it with others

"Sons from Afar", book 6 of 7 about the indomitable Tillerman family focuses on two brothers searching for their father. It keeps us jumping from page to page and we hold our breath through all of their adventures. Read by itself it is exciting to the very end. Read as part of the Tillerman series it fleshes out the family and adds dimension to all of them who we have grown to love. I only wish Cynthia Voight has written 15 books about the Tillermans. They are real to me, andwith every book, I want to read more! By the way, these books are for everyone! I am 67 years old and while children may love these books, I think grown adults will love them even more!

Cynthia Voigt is a talented writer and I've enjoyed all the books she has written about the Tillerman Family. I especially enjoyed The Home Coming and Diecey's Song. The Sons From Afar is another good book written by Ms. Voigt. Sons From Afar takes us on a journey with James and Sammy as they search for their father. Along the way the two brother's learn about themselves and their long lost father who they never find. It's a good read. I would recommend this book to everyone.

I love the Tillerman series and this book did not disappoint.

This was the sixth book in the Cynthia Voigt Tillerman Series written for young people. I am sixty-four years young and I enjoyed this series very much. I could not wait to read the next one and was so sorry when the series was finished.
