Summary: A Change in Life
Review: A review by Erika Evans
A teenage girl, April Carrigan, lived in Norwood, Virginia. She lived with her mom, her brother Bram, and her father. She had a boyfriend; Steve Chandler and she couldn't wait for the junior-senior prom coming up. Her dad was always away on business and he was in Washington D.C. for a trial. He mysteriously was shot at in the courtroom and it put the whole family in danger. April and her family had to move from hotel to hotel every night. They got into the Witness Protection Program and had gotten new identities. They had to move to Florida and fear for their life that no one will shoot them. I liked this story a lot. It had some parts that were really dumb but overall it was good. I especially liked the way the author made the characters act so scared and full of fear. It was like you were there running from the murderer. I also liked the way that the author made Aprils character so emotional. She had to go through so much and as a teenager its frustrating. She had to deal with leaving her boyfriend, changing her whole life because she was in danger. She had to go through a lot and deal with so much. It's actually very admiring. She just handled everything with much emotion. I just thought this book was really good. (...) Overall I would recommend this book to anyone who likes scary and or horror books. It is truly a good book and if you like this kind of book you'll truly agree. So go out and read this book.

Summary: This could really happen to you
Review: (...)
Don’t Look behind You is a very intense book, which keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very last page. April Corrigan , an eleventh grader at Springside Academy, must move from Norwood Virginia, and start a new life in Grove City, Florida. Early in the book, April finds out that her father was working undercover for the F.B.I. Mike Vamp, a hit man, wants to kill April’s father, so he can’t testify. To stay clear of Vamp, or other hit men, their family goes into hiding. Eventually, they join the Federal Witness Security Program, and totally change their identity. Lois Duncan does a wonderful job of making you feel like you are April. Unlike some other books, this could really happen to you. This thrilling mystery will keep you wanting more. It makes you wonder what you would do if you were in April’s shoes. Just at the moment you think April will face the worst, she finds a way out. “Brer fox doesn’t know it yet, but he’s just thrown us in the briar patch.” I recommend this to anyone who likes an interesting thriller.

Summary: Don't Look Behind You
Review: It's the story of a teenage girl and her family getting relocated to another town in the Federal Witness Protection Program.
April Corrigan, tennis champ, popular student, girlfriend of the class pesident, must leave behind all of her friends and the life she's had, after her father testifies against a company of drug dealers. A hitman is hired, and threatening letters were sent to them because of her father's involvement in this high-profile trial.
I enjoyed reading this book. It took unexpecting turns, especially in the end, and had me on the edge of my seat the entire time I was reading it. This book should be read by a teen and adult audience due to violence, and some graphic language.
Lois Duncan will pull you right into this book with discriptive writing, and exciting plot lines. It's definitly worth reading.

Summary: Maxiumum Suspense
Review: Like most teens, I don't like to read very much, and the rare times that I do read I'm usually forced to. But with "Don't Look behind You" it was different. "Don't Look Behind You" is about a girl named April with a 'perfect' life. Top player on the tennis team, has the most popular boyfriend, and has a ton of friends. Things were going pretty well until one day. She was moved away, from her home and grandmother, within minutes. She recieved a new identity a was moved thousands of miles away from home. Hating her new life, she fled. But the question is... would she make it home? Very highly recommened for people who like suspense and action. Also recommened...Lois Duncan's "Twisted Window" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer"

Summary: So real, its scary!
Review: This is the first Lois Duncan book I ever read and I enjoyed it so much, that I became totally hooked on Lois Duncan's works and have read and re-read almost all of her books. This book so incredibly suspenceful, that the reader is compelled to read strait through with out putting it down even for a moment. (In other words, go "potty" before starting the book.) The book is so realistic which makes it incredibly chilling. Duncan makes the reader really feel for the family in the book and also makes one hope that they will never have an encounter with a stalker.

Summary: A new life...
Review: One minute April is living a nice, happy, popular life, and the next she is fleeing from her old home and from a killer with a new identity--and a new haircut (ugh). She is no longer April. She is Valerie. The new girl whos parents don't have the good job. April is desperate to reconnect with her old life. Her boyfriend and grandma, who she misses more than anything. But is she willing to put herself and her family in danger when she DOES make contact with old friends and family? Or will she, for the rest of her life, be a stranger even to her own self?
Enjoying and suspenseful all the way through. I enjoyed every minute of it.

Summary: This book is one of the best!
Review: Wow! This book truly was one of the best horror stories I've ever read. April .. or should I say Valerie ... is the main character, and the narrator of the book. Her story is spooky as well as extrememely suspensful. She tells you how she and her family had to hide from people every since her father's secreative FBI work. They all take on new identities, and move to a whole new town. Of course, the secret begins to slip out, and that could mean problems. Terrible problems -- some going as far as ... DEATH! This book was by far one of my favorite ones by Lois Duncan. I highly reccomend it :)

Summary: Good plot, pretty boring
Review: I thought that this book had a pretty good, original plot, but for some reason Duncan didn't make it very exciting at all until like, the last 20 pages of the novel. I expected just a little more from the author after reading Stranger With My Face. I would reccomend this to some one who is bored and likes Duncan's books, but just as a warning: this one isn't all that great
