Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Lois Duncan (1934-2016) was born in Philadelphia, PA, and grew up in Sarasota, FL.

She knew from early childhood that she wanted to be a writer. She submitted her first story to a magazine at age 10 and became published at 13. Throughout her high school years she wrote regularly for young people's publications, particularly Seventeen.

As an adult, Lois moved to Albuquerque, NM, where she taught magazine writing for the Journalism Department at the University of New Mexico and continued to write for magazines. Over 300 of her articles and stories appeared in such publications as Ladies Home Journal, Redbook, McCall's, Good Housekeeping, and Reader's Digest, and for many years she was a contributing editor for Woman's Day.

Lois was the author of over 50 books, ranging from children's picture books to poetry to adult non-fiction, but is best known for her young adult suspense novels, which have received Young Readers Awards in 16 states and three foreign countries. In 1992, Lois was awarded the Margaret A. Edwards Award, presented by the School Library Journal and the ALA Young Adult Library Services Association for "a distinguished body of adolescent literature." In 2009, she received the Katharine Drexel Award, awarded by the Catholic Library Association "to recognize an outstanding contribution by an individual to the growth of high school and young adult librarianship and literature." In 2015 she was named a Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America.

Six of her novels -- SUMMER OF FEAR, KILLING MR. GRIFFIN, GALLOWS HILL, RANSOM, DON'T LOOK BEHIND YOU and STRANGER WITH MY FACE -- were made-for-TV movies. I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER and HOTEL FOR DOGS were box office hits.

Although young people are most familiar with Lois Duncan's fictional suspense novels, adults may know her best as the author of WHO KILLED MY DAUGHTER?, the true story of the murder of Kaitlyn Arquette, the youngest of Lois's five children. Kait's heartbreaking story has been featured on such TV shows as Unsolved Mysteries, Good Morning America, Larry King Live, Sally Jessy Raphael and Inside Edition. A full account of the family's on-going personal investigation of this still unsolved homicide can be found on the Internet at http://kaitarquette.arquettes.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars A teen classic
Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2018

Long before "teen suspense thrillers" became its own genre, there was Lois Duncan. Many of Lois Duncan's novels, such as "I Know What You Did Last Summer", have been made into movies. "Stranger with My Face" is no exception; it was made into a movie by Lifetime in the 1990s. "Stranger with My Face" earned a lot of awards when it was released, but it is currently lesser-known than her works that were turned into films in the past fifteen years or so.

High schooler Laurie Stratton is having the best summer of her young life -- until her popular boyfriend accuses her of seeing her out on a night she is supposedly home sick. She begins to hear of more of these sightings until she sees one for herself -- the astral projection of her twin, a twin she never knew she had. Her life begins to unravel as she tries to simultaneously learn more about her unknown sister, while trying to protect herself against accidents happening in her life.

Fans of thrillers will enjoy this book.

My neice ask me if I had read this book & I said that I hadn't & she said for me to check it out. I have a twin sister & we were identical when we were young. I was the outgoing twin & never met a stranger. She was the quiet one. The sad thing is she don't really know me. She has told some people that I used to have a bad temper. Yeah, I guess I did in a way, but I was the one that took care of us as we were growing up.
I tried to just get a sample of this book first & I don't know why but it wouldn't come through so I bought it & am so glad I did! It kept me in suspense until I finally finished it.
I loved it!!

5.0 out of 5 stars I am in love with this book
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2007

I first read Stranger With My Face when I was 13, which was 15 years ago. Of all the books I've ever read, this stayed with me very strongly- I felt almost haunted by it. I spent many years trying to find the book again because I had forgot the title, and by luck I just recently located it. It was even more powerful than I remembered. This is the first time I've ever felt compelled to write a review- that's how much it moved me. The book should not be considered only for teens. It is a beautiful and intriguing story for any age. I was swept away by the stormy island setting, and I am utterly in love with Jeff- cool, tough, brave and scarred.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Kindle version is NOT the original book!
Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2015
Verified Purchase
I read the original paperback when it came out in 1981. I thought it was an all-around excellent book, one I would certainly have given 5 stars to. So why am I only giving it 3 stars now? In a moment of nostalgia, I was searching on amazon for books I remembered reading way back when. I saw this was on Kindle now and bought it on impulse. When I started reading, I realized early on that this was not same book I had read before. This has been rewritten. It is basically the same story, but there are some subtle and not so subtle changes. The updates to make it more contemporary -- the existence of cell phones for instance -- are handled well and unobtrusively. There is more description of the island and the ocean and sky that is well-written and also not obtrusive, though I could picture the location perfectly in the original. The main problems I have with it are:
1) unnecessary scene additions. These are mainly dialogue-heavy scenes explaining the characters' feelings and actions. The original was perfectly clear and I never puzzled over any of them there.
2) unnecessary character change. Helen's mother is turned into a nasty shrew for no discernible reason.
3) poor editing. This edition gives off the strong impression that it was the edition initially handed over from the author to an editor. The editor worked his/her magic, and the original version was published. I wish they had left it at that. With the small exception of updating for the mention of cell phones, nothing in this edition is better than the original. Reading it made me long for a good editor.
4) false advertising. As far as I am concerned, this is the most annoying and deceptive feature. I went back over the entire page for the Kindle edition. If there is anything there indicating that this edition has been changed from the original, it is so subtle that I missed it. I want to know the truth when I purchase something from amazon. In this case, I suspect it is the publisher that is being deceptive. Shame on them. I'm going to be far more wary of ordering anything old that has just turned up on Kindle from now on.

I do recommend this book for its excellent plot, writing, and characters. But you will be far better off purchasing a used paperback edition of the original work.

This story is absolutely brilliant and I recommend the read - it definitely captures your attention!

The book is about a strange phenomenon which is of course fiction - 'astral projection' but there are some accounts of people claiming to have had this experience which is very intriguing if you look these up.

I recommend you read the book before researching anything as this book is best read without prior knowledge of astral projection in my opinion.
