About the book
Christina comes from her island home to the mainland of Maine to go to school, never guessing at the evil waiting for her. The principal, Mr. Shevvington, is handsome and Mrs. Shevvington is a dedicated teacher, therefore making the school seem ideal. However when Anya begins to lose her mind, Christina knows the Shevvingtons are behind it. Suspicions are confirmed when the attention is on her when they tell her, "You don't know yourself, Christina. You cannot admit that you are a very disturbed child."
