Cast Out by Jojo Debrazza is a fun-filled adventure story about the human and fairy worlds written for an audience of, I would guess, 9-year-olds to 12-year-olds. Snowstorm Forest Fay is an innocent and loving fairy who is caught up in the effects of fairy politics. The story starts with Fay's sudden and bedazzled appearance in the human realm, and the author does a wonderful job of making ordinary things appear exotic as the unfamiliar visitor tries to make heads or tails of the world humans live in.
The story is written with a very high level of emotional intelligence. It touches on many of the social, emotional, and developmental issues of importance to younger children as they are growing up. The story guides the reader along in an unfolding adventure which, even after 200 pages, could probably have gone on for 100 more, or maybe a sequel is in order.
Without printing any spoilers, I'll say the adventure comes to a conclusion that rightfully deals with all involved.
An excellent and warm novella for a young audience. A complete Fairy Fay series might be in order.

A wonderful fantasy story about young Snowstorm Forest Fae when she is cast out from the fairy world and lands in the human world. She receives help from two teenagers, Mandy and Liv, to navigate the human world and finds herself in a high school class. She naturally excels at dancing and football (soccer). I like the author’s take on Snowstorm’s emotions and friendship. She doesn’t fully understand human emotions such as jealousy, gossip, and bullying (what a great idea to have anti-bullying slogans on T-shirts).
As the story progresses, Snowstorm revises her understanding of friendship and who her true friends are. I like the character arc. We learn why Snowstorm was cast out and about the rift between the Queen and her siblings. The stakes go up as Snowstorm finds she’s the only one who can rescue the Queen of Triqueda, the fairy world.
Not to spoil the ending, but cell phones are helpful, even in the fairy world!
Like Snowstorm, I’m also scared of bikes ;) 5/5

The story starts out a little confusing, since the main character, (It takes us a while to learn both her gender and name) begins the narrative just after something traumatic has happened to her. I would have liked a little bit more information at the beginning to understand what the heck was going on, and why. That all did come later, but for the first little bit, the story was in a fog for me.
As the story progressed, it got very good, and the main character, despite things happening to her that weren't fair, was a wonderfully brave and caring character who did her best to do what was right, and to help deserving people.
This is a good story for 7-9 year students and younger, and has great lessons about standing up to bullies, having courage, and helping others.

Snowstorm Forest Fae is a fairy. At least she is when she lives in the fairy queendom. When she's banished (not really her fault) to the human world, she's transformed into a human. Which means she lost all her magical powers. Luckily she chooses the perfect tree house to live in and is friend-adopted by its owner Liv, a human girl about her age, who takes her under wing.
Liv drags Fae off to school where Fae learns more about friendship, loyalty, standing firm, and doing the right thing rather than math, English, or history.
This was a sweet story that is fun, exciting, and uplifting. Middle school girls will love it.

Cast out is a Fantasy novel, combined with a girls’ high school tale. The author does a good job of having a fairy girl enter a modern school with all the drama you have there.
Our heroine is “cast out” of the fairy kingdom because of lies told by evildoers in the kingdom. That means she is translated to the human world. She tries to navigate the complexities of school and the social minefield there while trying to prove she was unjustly cast out of the fairy world.
The author allows us to feel the complicated emotions that “Fay” feels while trying to juggle living in two worlds. I recommend this book for any reader in this age group.

Cast Out is a story by JoJo Debrazzo
This story is about a fairy who is exiled from her home kingdom and has to learn how to pass as human. It is told from the first person by Snowstorm Forest Fae. She made a friend who saw her flashing light in the treehouse where she hid her first night in the world of people. The story follows her adjustment to being a regular teenager. Her fairy friends come to help her return to her homeland, so she is rescued.
I give it three stars. It may be your story if you like fairy tales of adventure.

Cute story
This is such a cute story for children (and adults). This would be a good book for a teacher to read to her classroom.
It definitely kept my interest the entire time: Twists and turns will do that.
I loved Fay's attitude, who despite being cast out of fairyland and turned into a human still sees the positive things around her.
This is the perfect book for children who love fairies and like adventure.

What a delightful read! I definitely believe in fairies and the idea of one being cast out of the fairy world and finding a way to clear her name again just intrigued me. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this, even though I'm way older than the genre would normally appeal to! I would certainly recommend it for younger people and older ones who like to think they're still young.
