• SILVER MEDAL winner, Moonbeam Children's Book Awards, Young Adult Fiction, 2009.

  For 16 year-old Woody Elmont, life in rural Georgia is a tolerable routine of caring for his aging Aunt Zee and minding his developmentally disabled younger brother, Tick. But when Tick disappears from a nearby home for troubled youth, Woody sets off on a grand and improbable adventure to know the truth of his brother's fate. Risking his life for duty's sake, Woody discovers far more truth than he bargained for. Calling Out Your Name is a headlong rush through characters and events both intriguing and menacing - a coming-of-age journey that is by turns inspiring and starkly compelling. "Ned White has created a memorable hero...(and) a wonderful, adventurous coming-of-age story that takes the Georgia teenager on a daring journey from Macon to Malibu and from adolescence to maturity." - Don O'Briant, former book editor for Atlanta Journal Constitution
