Growing up, I was a fan of Caroline B. Cooney’s novels. My favorite — “The Face on the Milk Carton.” I out grew her books and moved on to more mature reads, but they still left their mark.
Open Road Young Readers recently released some of Caroline’s books in digital format. Among them, “The Fog” and “The Terrorist.” Both were originally published in the 1990s. I just finished reading both of them for the first time.

Christina has been assured that this new phase of her life will be full of new friends and exciting opportunities, but she isn’t sure. Christina joins Anya, a beautiful senior, 15-year-old Benji, the aspiring lobsterman, and his crush-worthy younger brother Michael on the mainland, and everything changes. The boys aren’t as friendly and Anya starts acting so strangely Christina
