Losing Christina Trilogy
-Fog
-Snow
-Fire

Story Summary
Fog:
Christina leaves her home on Burning Fog Isle, off the Maine coast, to go to school on the mainland. She can handle the work, she can handle the kids who scorn her. But there's one thing she can't handle.
The Evil.
Something very dangerous is going on in the home of the principal, Mr. Shevvington, and his wife where Christina boards with the beautiful, dreamy Anya. It's driving Anya mad. What will happen to Christina?
Snow:
The Snow is the second book of The Fog, The Snow, and The Fire trilogy. 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.
Fire:
In the final book of this thriller trilogy, the evil Shevvingtons try to make Christina (and the town) believe she is obsessed with fire. Christina fights desperately for her sanity, but can she finally conquer the evil?

My Response to the Book[s]:
Losing Christina. The name alone intrigues you to want to read the book. Why 'lose' Christina? Who IS Christina?
In this book, the evil Mr and Mrs Shevvington was seen as good caring people in the eyes of parents and other teachers in the school. Only Christina thought that they were evil but no one was on her side, no matter how desperately she tries to gain the other's trust and support. It must be terrible, to know the truth yet no one is willing to listen to you. Much like our English Literature book 'The Enemy of the People'. Both talks about the truth that is smothered under layers of coating, and no one is willing to believe the truth even though it is evident. Only the closer friends, and those who's souls have been sucked away by Mr and Mrs Shevvington believed that Christina wasn't yarning. I pity Christina, for in all three books, she has been mistrusted, maligned and taunted by people, thinking that this island girl was insane, setting fires to burn her entire wardrobe, threatening to push Anya off the bridge, having weird tri-coloured hair. But she had been framed by the Shevvingtons, for they wanted her to lose her mind like all the others who had lived in the Candle Cove as tenants. Only Christina put up a tough fight and refused to back down like all the others. In a way, i admire her courage, and her stupidity to go against pure evil.
The good will always triumph over the evil. At first, Christina didnt believe in that. But the ending showed otherwise. The evil was destroyed and those who had lost their minds and souls stayed the way they were, but they were happy. All's well ends well i guess.

Great lines from 'Losing Christina':
'"The sea can smack the rocks like a hand smacking the cheek. It can hiss, or gurgle or even kiss. But when it wants, it can go quiet. And then," said Anya Rothrock, "you can hear the voices of the drowned."'
'Its not the Cove blowing out the candles, she thought, its here, in this house, someone having an eternal birthday, never getting the wish right, the candles lighting back up like evil magic tricks.'
