    Summary: A girl has to accept her psychic abilities to save a group of children.Evaluation: While some of the references are a little dated, the story holds up beautifully. It deals with learning to accept yourself for who you are, and that lesson is still being learned to this day. It takes Karen a while to learn this lesson, and the reader gets to learn it along with her.

    I have always enjoyed Lois Duncan's YA thrillers. This was one that was hard to put down.

    I read this book for a Reading Competition when I was still in middle school and something about it stuck with it. I liked the mystery of it and I thought that the end was a nice way of adding that extra romance without taking away from the rest of the book.

    This was an interesting read but I did feel that the main character made some pretty ridiculous mistakes. She even repeats the same mistake a couple of times and just can't learn from it for some reason which was a little infuriating.

    Another great Lois Duncan thriller. I love these. I hope I never have to choose a favorite.

    I see and appreciate the differences in writing style, coverage of material and the level and type of emotional stimulation among books written with various age groups as intended audiences. The time period that a book was written in can suggest similar differences as well. Sophistication and experiences of people of an age group has evolved and these books may be considered by some to lean toward the younger end of YA compared to more contemporary fiction. But these are very good and I'm perfectly happy reading them at my current age. I like the suspense. I like the visual descriptions. I relate to the characters. I'm looking forward to my next one.

    I found this old teen book of mine while packing up books ready for the move and couldn't resist the reread.Karen Connors is 18 years old and ready to graduate high school when she experiences some psychic events that she can't explain. Not exactly premonitions, as she doesn't predict the future, but when a young boy she is babysitting goes missing Karen is able to 'see' him and eventually tell the police where he is before he is found. Her family and friends are less than supportive, he father refuses to believe her 'gift', her mother wants to hide it and her boyfriend is more concerned about himself than Karen or the missing boy. But a young police officer sees the potential in Karen to help others and asks for her assistance in another case. But when Karen becomes involved in a third mystery her life is placed in danger and her gift alone cannot save her.I loved this book when I was a young teen but it doesn't carry quite as well into adulthood and has dated slightly (it was first published in 1984). There are some ideas about popularity and the need to keep a boyfriend happy that jarred with me now and when Karen's mother was urging her to hide her abilities because boys don't like girls who are freaks I could gladly have shaken her. I still did enjoy the psychic aspect of the book though and the way Karen's abilities came to the fore, something I was very jealous of when I was 12, and it was fun to revisit a book I had loved and find that it could still entertain me and keep me reading with enjoyment even though I can see it's flaws now and have a different perspective on the characters and events.
