From Publishers Weekly

Set on the coast of Maine, this horror novel is the first of a projected trilogy. Four children--Christine, Anya, Ben and Michael--are attending high school on the mainland. The new principal, Mr. Shevvington, and his toady wife have offered to board all the children from Burning Fog Isle for the school year. The islanders know that the mainland kids will pick on them, but that trouble pales as Christine becomes aware of something evil: Anya seems to be going mad, and Christine is sure that the loathsome Shevvingtons are behind it. They seem to be conspiring with the ocean for a human sacrifice. Short on logic and suspense, this novel may appeal to diehard horror fans, but Stephen King or Dean Koontz would might be a better choice. Ages 11-15.

Book Description

The Shevvingtons are perfect. Mr. Shevvington is the charming, handsome principal of Christina's school. His wife is a dedicated English teacher. When the Autumn fog rolls over the coast, Christian and Anya begin boarding at the Shevvington's home, where Christina discovers that nothing is as it seems. Anya is slowly losing her mind, and Christina knows the Shevvingtons are behind it. But who will take her word against that of the Shevvingtons? This is book one in the LOSING CHRISTINA series. This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0étoiles sur 5 AWESOME., Oct. 20 2004
Par Lindsay Donogh (Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Losing Christina: Fog (Paperback)
I love the Losing Christina books... they're very suspenseful (which is probably the most overused word for describing a story, but they really are). Christina is a very likeable main character; not overly whiny and girly, or too "nice". You can really identify with her, and you can imagine how she feels in most of these situations (her first day at the mainland school, having nobody believe her, etc) and I was impressed by how strong she remained. The Shevvingtons are very evil; and both in different ways (Mrs Shevvington is visibly evil and her true personality is more or less out in the open, and Mr Shevvington acts very kind and everyone loves him, when really he's just as evil as his wife.)

People who liked Face on the Milk Carton shouldn't just pick up this book because it's by the same author; the story is very different (I read the first FotMC book and was very bored; this girl was kidnapped, GASP, we've established that, get on with the plot!) and while FotMC is more of a mystery, this series is more of a horror/suspense series, with some supernatural elements in it (the "evil" of the Shevvingtons, etc). I don't think you should judge the Losing Christina series after only getting through half the book (like that one reviewer did), because it is kind of slow at the beginning, but then the story gets much faster (that WAS my hope for Face on the Milk Carton, but sadly it remained boring the whole way through).

All in all, "Fog" is a wonderful beginning to the story, though my personal favorite is "Snow" (the second book). "Fire" was also a good ending.

4.0étoiles sur 5 This was a good book, Mars 26 2004

This review is from: Losing Christina: Fog (Paperback)
This was only the third book that I have read of Caroline B. Cooney. For the first.... half I had to push myself to read it. It was good but it wasn't the best. But after that half was over with man, was it good. I couldn't put it down after that. So for you people who think this book is boring make sure that you keep reading and finish the whole thing. If you would just finish it you would luv it. I KNOW YOU WILL! I think that it is a good buy too. I read the next two in the series and they are all really (...) extrememly good. Happy reading!(...)
