Christina leaves her home, Burning Fog Isle off the coast of Maine, for the first time at the age of 13. She joins fellow teenagers Anya, Benji, & Michael in travelling to the mainland to attend school. The four will be housed in a local bed & breakfast place called the Schooner Inne, which has recently been bought by headteacher & his wife, Mr & Mrs Shevvington. (Continued)

OutsmartYourShelf The others tell Christina that the mainland kids view them as odd but Christina finds that the odd behaviour comes from the Shevvingtons. From the moment they arrive the four are treated as second class but it seems as if only Christina is aware of it. Anya then starts to act very strangely & Christina knows that somehow the Shevvingtons are to blame, but when even her parents take their side, how can Christina reach out for the help needed? 10mo
OutsmartYourShelf I was drawn to this mainly as it was available via ebook from my local library & the cover looked interesting. I also thought I recognised the author's name & lo-&-behold, they wrote books for the Point Horror collection (which I loved as a tween). This is very much in the same vein as the PH books: young teenager in a perilous or strange situation with the adults seemingly of little help. 10mo
OutsmartYourShelf There's also a whiff of the supernatural about things - are the Shevvingtons supernaturally evil or just evil humans? It was a little on the simplistic side & not as scary as it could have been but I enjoyed it more than I expected & once it got going I flew through it. Definitely going to read the sequels. 3.5🌟
