This is the first Lois Duncan book that I’ve read and I have to say that I was very satisfied. This book was thrilling, but not so scary as to keep you up at night. It was also well written. Even though Trickle died in the beginning of the story, I was still sad. I felt that I had known Trickle longer than when he had been introduced to me. It was easy for me to be engaged in the story. In addition, I thought that the end when ‘Julia’ reveals who she really is and her real intentions was clever. An excellent read.
