Far, Far Away

Monday, Mar 07, 2016 at 4:19pm

Joan, our teen fiction guru, loved these compelling novels of unfamiliar places and cultures where teens struggle against the expectations of family, while longing to escape.

In the cruel poverty of circa 1970 Fairbanks, Alaska, four teens push back against stern, absent or abusive parents in The Smell of Other People’s Houses by Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock. Ruth has a secret that she can’t hide forever. Dora wonders if she can ever truly escape where she comes from. Alyce is trying to reconcile her desire to dance, with her life on her family’s fishing boat. Hank and his brothers decide it’s safer to run away than to stay home. Their lives twist and turn, slowly coming together into a new future in this debut novel about people who try to save each other, and how sometimes, when they least expect it, they succeed.

Dillard Early, Jr., Travis Bohannon and Lydia Blankenship are three friends from different walks of life who have one thing in common: none of them seem to fit the mold in rural Tennessee’s Forrestville High. In The Serpent King by Jeff Zentner, Lydia waits out her senior year as she copes with small town bullies by befriending equally geeky Dillard and Travis whose abusive fathers and weak mothers restrict their lives. A hot, oppressive atmosphere of right-wing Christian fundamentalism and alcohol-based abuse percolate slowly into a vicious murder that forces the three to search for a new future worth living.


Excerpt from March/April issue of The Bookseller, out now.
