Winter

"Winter has always appealed to me. I don't know why, but I have always loved all things cold and icy. There's something magical about a driveway covered by slick sheets of ice and porches lined row upon row of icicles dangling in deadly yet beautiful displays of winter's beauty."

As a student in Haven High School in Haven, Kansas, a tiny and very boring city in the very, very boring state of Kansas, Maxine Angeline knows she's different. Normal girls like things warm, fuzzy, cute, and very, very pink. She likes the opposite: cold, smooth, harsh, and dark, dark blue. She is the antithesis of girly-girl, and that isn't common in Haven.

But when startling realizations lead to spectacular discoveries, Maxine's world will forever change in ways that no one would have ever predicted. There is a dark power looming over the world, and only Maxine will be able to stop it. But first, she must accept this new her.
