Ever After High: The Storybook of Legends
Shannon Hale

2.99 on Kobo

http://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/boo...Q&PageNumber=1

At Ever After High, an enchanting boarding school, the children of fairytale legends prepare themselves to fulfill their destinies as the next generation of Snow Whites, Prince Charmings and Evil Queens...whether they want to or not. Each year on Legacy Day, students sign the Storybook of Legends to seal their scripted fates. For generations, the Village of Book End has whispered that refusing to sign means The End-both for a story and for a life.

As the daughter of the Evil Queen, Raven Queen's destiny is to follow in her mother's wicked footsteps, but evil is so not Raven's style. She's starting to wonder, what if she rewrote her own story? The royal Apple White, daughter of the Fairest of Them All, has a happy ever after planned for herself, but it depends upon Raven feeding her a poison apple in their future.

What if Raven doesn't sign the Storybook of Legends? It could mean a happily never after for them both.

I really, really like this series, and hope they have a sale on book 2 and 3 soon.

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?

Will Christina and her friends survive the winter at the Schooner Inne with their sanity intact?

The second book in the Fog, Snow, and Fire trilogy finds seventh-grader Christina back at the creepy Schooner Inne after a blissful Christmas vacation at home on Burning Fog Isle in Maine. Mr. and Mrs. Shevvington, the creepy principal and his wife, have everyone convinced that Christina’s dramatic stories of last semester were just far-fetched yarns. Michael and Benjamin, Christina’s fellow borders at Schooner Inne, still seem to have no idea what’s going on under their own noses. Worst of all, Anya has become a sad, quiet shell of her former self. Even Dolly, Christina’s best friend from the island, who is now living at Schooner Inne, can’t see what the Shevvingtons are up to. The creepy couple seems to be winning whatever sick psychological game they’re playing. But when a supernatural presence lures Christina down into the basement, will Mr. and Mrs. Shevvington’s destructive tricks become the least of Christina’s worries?

Will Christina finally escape the evil clutches of the Schooner Inne—or will she succumb to its fiery pull?

The final book in the Fog, Snow, and Fire trilogy finds Christina at the end of her seventh-grade school year—in just eighteen days the semester will end, freeing her from the terrible Schooner Inne and the Shevvingtons, her creepy hosts. In just eighteen days she’ll be back home on her beloved Burning Fog Island for the summer. And since the Shevvingtons may be moving out of town next year, Christina may finally be safe and free of them forever. But then Christina begins sleepwalking, and doing odd things like leaving lit candles around the house, carrying around pockets full of matches, and doodling flames into her textbooks—or so claim the Shevvingtons. Can Christina survive the Shevvington’s insane tricks until the school year ends? Or will the Shevvingtons use all eighteen days to make Christina’s life a living—and fiery—hell?

I read the Fog, Snow and Fire trilogy in junior high, and I remember waiting eagerly for the book club to release each new volume. If you're looking for a spooky read, these are great, and I was so glad to be able to buy them in in ebook format so I could reread them.
