From the Publisher
This ADVANCE PRAISE makes me proud to publish Jonathon Scott Fuqua AND The Re-Appearance of Sam Webber
"Jonathon Scott Fuqua has a wonderfully detailed and affectionate knowledge of Baltimore, its culture and communities, here expressed in both picture and story. A Bildungsroman with a bittersweet twist, The Re-Appearance of Sam Webber is the sort of novel that can be called 'heartwarming' without irony." --MADISON SMARTT BELL, AUTHOR OF ALL SOULS RISING AND TEN INDIANS
"A year in the life of a Baltimore boy provides the basis for a formidable portrait of urban American life...A warming exploration..." --KIRKUS REVIEWS
"This debut novel...addresses prejudice and overcoming urban fears...The characters present a realistic picture of the trials in a single-parent family...Highly recommended not only for adults and educators but for teenagers living in urban areas." --LIBRARY JOURNAL
"A white 11-year-old becomes fast friends with a black janitor and learns about racism, loss, grief, forgiveness and the landscape of Baltimore in this heartfelt ... debut...Fuqua...has a sensitive understanding of the shaky emotional terrain of preadolescence, and he displays a good ear for dialogue and an intimate feel for Baltimore's rowhouses, creaky buses, and broad sidewalks..." --PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY
"Sharing football in the park and lunches in the school cafeteria, their [Sam and Greely's] relationship fills a void in Sam's life. As their friendship develops, it also becomes obvious that Greely needs Sam as much as Sam needs Greely ... A slow-paced story, filled with expertly detailed descriptions of Baltimore and well-drawn characters." --BOOKLIST
"Besides being an extraordinarily warm and engaging novel, The Re-Appearance of Sam Webber is, in its own understated way, one of the most vivid accounts of depression and its intergenerational effects. I will recommend it to friends and family, colleagues and patients, as a tale of the power of resilience to stand up to it all." --DANIEL L. BUCCINO, M.A., M.S.W., CO-DIRECTOR, THE BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON BRIEF THERAPY INSTITUTE
"Sam captured me on page one. Spending a year in his life and watching him build a new family was a great experience. Fuqua communicates beautifully the landscape of Baltimore as well as of a young boy in turmoil." --NANCY MAGNUSON, LIBRARIAN, GOUCHER COLLEGE
"Sam, the eleven-year-old protagonist of this fine first novel, has a loving mother who has loyal friends, and he finds a protector at school. And just these few relationships prove to be an entire village that raises this child...I wish Fuqua had written a longer book! He has re-created life in eighties Baltimore...It's a Bawlamer book, Hon-and Sam Webber is going to be a winner!" --MARY S. DAGOLD, LIBRARIAN, EDITH HAMILTON LIBRARY, THE BRYN MAWR SCHOOL
