She and older student Anya Rothrock, along with brothers Benj and Michael Jaye, are staying at at a boarding house with the Shevvingtons.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Mr. Shevvington is the principal of Christina's new school and Mrs. Shevvington is the English teacher.

Adult Fear | |
| Losing Christina / int_46118dc5 | comment |
Adult Fear: Besides the Shevvingtons' vindictive psychological games, Christina puts herself in some pretty dangerous situations: Book One: Trying to save Anya from drowning herself, she climbs along the roof of the inn during near hurricane conditions. Book Two: Christina is nearly crushed to death by retracting bleachers. Then she and Dolly have to escape the rising tide on the cliffs.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Adults Are Useless | |
| Losing Christina / int_a939d96a | comment |
Adults Are Useless: Even though Christina never lied to her parents while she lived with them, they do not believe her word against the Shevvingtons'. Even after the end of Book 2 proves to everyone that at least some of Christina's wild stories were actually true, and some of the trouble of that book can be laid at the Shevvingtons' feet, there is still no serious investigation into the bizarre incidents. Subverted with Mr. Gardner, though when he tries to talk to Christina about it, she naturally runs away from him. | |

All Abusers Are Male | |
| Losing Christina / int_dd5c2ab6 | comment |
All Abusers Are Male: Averted. In fact, Mrs. Shevvington is arguably more evil and insidious than Mr. Shevvington. | |
