Fog- Series book by Caroline B. Cooney

This book I am reviewing for the publisher. I am not being paid to write a review but I did get the book for free. Fog by Caroline Cooney. Grades 3 to 6 This book is part 1 of a series. The book takes place in Maine. The main character, Christina Romney, lives on Burning Fog Isle and comes to the mainland to start middle school. She boards with three other islander children on the mainland, with their school principle and his wife. Christina soon realizes that things are not going to be what she expected. Her imagination gets the better of her or not? "Poor Chrissie"' he murmured.Its been a hard autumn, hasn't it? A girl has daydreams about junior high, and none of them come true, and it's hard to keep going, isn't it?" Cooney uses her descriptive writing to intrigue the reader and in a sense make the book scary. The book is well written, fast paced and interesting to keep you reading. I enjoyed the relationships between the children. It was interesting how the writer was able to see things from a teenage girls perspective. You can feel the confusion in Christina and understand her point of view. I would recommend this book to young female readers ages 8 and up. Publisher Marking Kit: Will Maine's historic Schooner Inne Bed and Breakfast be a safe haven for the island kids boarding during the school year-or the end of them all? Christina Romney is thirteen, with a personality that matches her unruly but charming tri-colored hair. She is about to start seventh grade, and for kids from Maine's Burning Fog Island, that means leaving their little white schoolhouse for regular classrooms and life on the mainland. Everyone assures Christina it will be a fantastic year. Mainland school offers great advantages, after all: extracurricular activities other than boating and fishing, a gym, a cafeteria, and more kids her age. Best of all, this year the boarding students will live at the historic Schooner Inne, a former sea captain's house (and now a bed and breakfast) recently bought by the school's charismatic new principal and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Shevvington. But Christina is apprehensive. She adores the wildness and excitement of her island life. Boarding with her island friends will surely help: Anya, a beautiful senior, fifteen-year-old Benji, the aspiring lobsterman, and his crush-worthy younger brother Michael. But Christina's apprehension sharpens when Benji and Michael aren't as friendly as they used to be on the island, and Anya starts acting so strangely it seems she is slowly losing her mind. Christina is increasingly certain the Shevvingtons are behind all of these changes. But no one else can see the Shevvingtons' eerie behavior-not other teachers, not her parents, not even her fellow island kids. Is Anya the one going crazy in the Schooner Inne-or is it Christina?
