AWESOME.

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.

It Gets Better

Fog is the first book of the series Losing Christina. It's about a girl named Christina who lives on an island, but has to move off it to go to 7th grade. She lives with her princable and his wife who is the 7th grade english teacher.Everyone on this island loves these people, the princable and the english teacher. Christina however isn't but, wonder's why everyone likes these people. You'll have to read the rest of the book yourself cuz' i can't tell you everything. The series gets better especially the part about the diary.

Wonderful Book by Caroline B. Cooney

Christina is a 13 year old girl who has gone to Maine from her homeland island to stay with the evil Shevvington's who manage to take over people's minds. She tries her best to fight back but fails to save Anya's sanity. The Shevvington's have the power to turn her own parents against her and seem innocent the entire time. Christina is the only one who knows and believes that they're evil . This is the first book in the series of three (the other two are The Fire and The Snow). I personally thought that this was a very suspensful and page turning book. Nowadays it's hard to find books as good as that with out the nonsense. This was honestly one of the best books I have ever read. I know that I'm defenitly going to read the other two, probably multiple times. So, if you want a good read then read The Fog by Caroline B. Cooney.

SUPERIOR BOOK!!!!

If you haven't read this book, I urge you to do so!!! This is the first book of an awesome trilogy that you must read! This is the first Caroline B. Cooney book I read and it got me hooked! Christina is an extremely brave and determined 13 year-old that refuses to give up, even after being wrongly accused of unimaginable things. No one believes her, not even her friends. She's on her own in an intense battle against the Shevington's (teachers at Christina's school and the people taking Christina and her friends in for the school year). The Shevington's are minipulative, so minipulative that even Christina's parents believe their wild accusations!!! The Fog, The Snow, and The Fire is a GREAT trilogy! This book is definately worth your time!!!

Great

I guess I'm the only person that really liked this book. This book is not your typical "R.L. Stine" fair. It's not that *easy* to understand (on a low scale sense). This book is more like a psychological and intelligent thriller--pretty rare consider what type of Young Adult novels that were published when this book was came out. I recommend the whole trilogy (that is, if you can find it). Even though I read this book many years ago, I still remember Christina and her dept and strenght.And, no, the Fog was *not* actually talking to Christina.
