The Best Book of Caroline B. Cooney 's Books

The Snow By: Caroline B. Cooney The Schooner Inne is an odd place to keep girls. According to Christina Romney the owners are evil, and strange things happen to the girls. This book "The Snow" by Caroline Cooney is about Christina's experience at Schooner Inne. This book is about a girl named Christina, who is 13. She lives at Schooner Inne, with the Shevvingtons - they own the Inne. She believes that any girl who stays at Schooner Inne, will go insane because the Shevvingtons drive them to insanity. People on the Island think that Christina is a trouble maker because she is always complaining about the Shevvingtons being evil. This is an example from the book that she is making trouble, "You still don't understand! Listen to me. For once, listen to me! The Shevvingtons gave him his orders. They planned this. They trained him." Christina said. In a way Christina is right about the things happening at the Inne, but she has the wrong evil character. So if you want to find out the evil character then read the book.

The greatest evil

In the world, the greatest evil is the one in people you think you can trust. That is the Sevingtons. They are evil on two legs. They also embody the greatest fear. The fear of when you are right, and in danger, but nobody belives you. Book two of three.

ice cold terror...

Anya Rothrock has officially lost it. After a terrifying near death experience that landed her boyfriend in a boarding school far away from her, she now floats around town like a wraith. Christina knows that it was the Shevvingtons who destroyed Anya. They are creepy, evil people, but no one seems to see that but Christina. Now they have brought in a new victim: Dolly, Christina's best friend, fresh from Burning Fog Island. They want to destroy her like they did Anya! They capitalize on her fear of heights like they did Anya's fear of the sea. On top of Christina's growing fear for Dolly and her horror of the Shevvingtons, she's hearing creepy noises from the cellar....is she next on the Shevvington's list?

Suspenseful and well-written

Snow, the second book in Caroline B. Cooney's Losing Christina trilogy, is just as good as the first, Fog. This time, the Shevvington's target is apparantely Dolly, Christina's best friend from the island who is a year younger than herself. After losing Anya to the Shevvingtons, Christina does all she can to hold on to Dolly. Much to her dismay, very few people believe her evidence about the Shevvingtons. Not her parents, not Dolly's brothers, not Dolly herself. The only ones who believe it are Christina's best friend, Jonah, and a few other of her classmates who have felt the wrath of the Shevvingtons. This is a fantastic sequel, and a high point is the reappearance of Blake, Anya's boyfriend. I would reccomend this book to anyone who has read the first book in the trilogy (a must) and who is looking for a fantastic mystery and all-around good story.

Deeply Psychological

Caroline B. Cooney never ceases to pull off writing a great book. The Snow is the second book of The Fog, The Snow, and The Fire trilogy. I think it is the best of the three. It's a really psychological trilogy. It deals with those difficult times when you're telling the truth and no one will listen or believe you. We can all relate. I'm sure our stories are not as life/death as Christina's (the main character). I highly recommend this book if you can relate to not being listened too when you really need to be.
