WHEN ZACHARY BEAVER CAME TO TOWN

The summer of 1971 was an exceptional one in the life of Tobias Wilson. In this National Book Award for Young People's Literature-winner, Kimberly Holt spins the convergence of events in Antler, Texas, that profoundly influence Toby's life. Will Patton is exceptional in his narration. His voice is firm and sincere, with a deliberate slowness that gives import to the motif of watching and inevitable change. His pauses allow the listener to reflect on the story's events and the understandings and friendships that develop and deepen because of them. Don't miss this recording! A.R.
