About Ada Rue and the Banished

Embark on a captivating magical adventure with Ada Rue in Kereen Getten's enchanting novel, "Ada Rue and the Banished." This compelling middle-grade fiction explores themes of moving to a new home, discovering hidden worlds, and finding inner strength. When Ada and her parents relocate from the bustling city to a quiet small town for her mother's new job, Ada quickly senses that something is amiss. The town holds a secret, a mysterious undercurrent that only she seems to perceive.

During her daily newspaper round, Ada stumbles upon a profound discovery: the Banished. These are magical individuals who have been unjustly exiled from the town by its sinister mayor, trapped behind an invisible shield that prevents them from seeing their loved ones or re-entering their former lives. Remarkably, Ada possesses a unique ability – she can see this barrier as a wall of fog and, even more astonishingly, she can cross into the world of the Banished. This page-turning story, brought to life with evocative black-and-white illustrations by Simone Douglas, invites young readers aged 9-11 into a world of mystery, courage, and the power of empathy. Join Ada as she navigates this extraordinary challenge, determined to help those who have been cast aside.
