A Solitary Blue (Tillerman Cycle #3) 
But Jeff's second summer in Charleston ends with a devastating betrayal, and he returns to his father wounded almost beyond bearing. But out of Jeff's pain grows a deepening awareness of the unexpected and complicated ways of love and loss and of family and friendship -- and the strength to understand his father, his mother, and especially himself.
Jeff was abandoned by his beloved mother when he was only seven years old, and spent his life with his father whom he calls the Professor. The Professor is aloof and for most of his life Jeff is left on his own, until one summer his mother invites him to come stay with her. He falls in love with mother all over again, but when he goes to visit her again the following summer things change. Jeff then has to come to term with his mother's abandonment and rebuild his relationship with his father.
The book "A Solitary Blue" is about a kid named Jeff and how his life was progressing. This book talked about the Tillermans and how Jeff slowly started to meet them. "A Solitary Blue" is actually very amusing and it doesn't have to be read with the other books. It is a very good book in my opinion and if you are looking for something to read I would recommend this because if you find it enjoyable then you can continue with the other books that have some relation to this one.

This is possibly my favorite book of the Tillerman Cycle. As ever, Cynthia Voigt's story and language are beautifully interdependent. Jeff's growth from terrified little boy to self-assured young man is by no means easy or without twists and turns, and he reaches that point after heartache and several reevalutations of himself and the other people in his life -- so it's like real life, something Voigt writes about with assurance. I also like A Solitary Blue because I first read it when I was
A Solitary Blue was definitely one of my favorite books that i have read this year. It was a simple but outspoken story. I liked how some things in the book i could relate to in real life. I noticed how similar the main character's relationship with his father was like my mom and my grandfather's relationship. There were many of the same characteristics of their relationships witch drew me in even more into the story. My feelings about different characters changed as the story went on as well as
Okay, after reading this book I was forced to come to the wonderful conclusion that Cynthia Voigt could do no wrong and she was, in all likelihood, a perfect author and perfect human. Well, I nearly felt that way after reading through A Solitary Blue! I never thought that any additional book in The Tillerman Cycle could surpass Dicey's Song, and perhaps this one did not surpass it, but it did come shockingly close. In my thinking, this is one of the fullest and most richly resonant novels
this is one of my favorite books of all time! I have read it over and over and never tire of it. I love the way Cynthia Voigt writes and enjoyed all the books in the Tillerman series!

One of those exemplary books that, after closing the last page, makes you just sit and think and feel what you just experienced.It is a journey through a young boy's life learning to hope and love, getting heartbroken, and healing. It is an up and down journey that I was invested in from page one and with Jeff every second of the way. Voigt has a singular gift for showing Jeff's thought processes, internalizations, and motivations in a raw but completely believable, realistic manner that latchesJeff was abandoned by his beloved mother when he was only seven years old, and spent his life with his father whom he calls the Professor.
