Wow, Banished kept me riveted. The story was tense and engaging. I liked the world of the Banished. It felt original- not something that you see a lot of when you read freakish amounts of YA like me:) The only downside was how dark it was. The extreme cruelty of some of the characters made me uncomf...

Banished is a depressing and sad tale about a girl named Hailey. Hailey never knew her parents and like Harry Potter she isn't allowed to ask questions about them. She is raised by a cruel grandmother who deals drugs for a living. Her grandmother is similar to the vile mother from the film Precious....

Trashtown is the poorer part of Gypsum, Missouri, and home to sixteen-year-old Hailey Tarbell. She's always been naturally athletic, but her grandma won't let her participate in anything that doesn't bring home the bacon. Meanwhile, Alice Tarbell makes money by drug-dealing, and probably also collec...

This book had such an odd flavor coming from Sophie Littlefield, if only because it seems so mainstream and dependable. BANISHED follows the common, enjoyable theme of Hailey Tarbell discovering her unexplained powers and facing adversity, but with none of the damage or darkness I had come to expec...

I didn't have any expectations coming into "Banished", as it was the first novel I'd ever read from Sophie Littlefield. Interestingly enough, this is her first YA novel branching off into a series of its own, apart from her adult novels. It was an interesting read full of well-developed, identifia...

This really had an exciting finish. Bonus points. But, I didn't know this book was going to be about Zombies. It is hard for me to read zombie books because of what they are - lifeless creatures. I never can get invested. Overall, the book was well written and the story clicks right along. I r...

What can I say about this book other than I love it. The plot was very intriguing and held me from page to page. Hailey is not your average kid. She is always being picked on and teased by the other kids. She has been told lies about her past and know nothing. One day after saying a student from dea...
