Tammy Ferebee

about this book: Outsiders was written across a few different genres. While set in modern day, upper-middle-class suburbia, science fiction elements are relevant and play an important role in understanding the story, and most importantly, its characters. The cast of characters is very diverse: from race, to religious beliefs, to sexuality. Due to some of the book's mature themes, language, and some sexual content, Outsiders is considered Upper YA.

Thoughts from readers

• "…Trinity's student body reminds me of my high school class. Another great thing was that they spoke and acted realistically…"

• "…Jaylen is an atheist and I think it's fantastic to see that in a YA book. Not everyone is a Christian and it's so wonderful to see diversity!..."

• "…Tammy Ferebee's writing is flawless. If you love a good YA fantasy book filled with suspense, a bit of drama and romance, then you should definitely read this!..."

• "…It's a young adult fantasy with elements of action and sci-fi. If I had to compare it to something, I'd say Twilight + I Am Number Four (but without the silliness and vampires)…"
