Summary: Not a gift of a book
Review: this book, had no real plot. It was all centered around this one girls life and it was just a book that drowns on and on. I have to say i love most if not all of her books if you don't count this one. Go read one of her other books because this is a skip it.

Summary: A very well-written book!
Review: This is a great book! I wish I could learn what happened to Nancy and what she did with her powers, but the book was definitely great. I think the author (Lois Duncan) either has ESP or is interested in it, because in The Third Eye (also written by her), there is a girl that has ESP. A Gift Of Magic is a very rewarding and fulfilling book, and you should read it if you haven't!

Summary: Truely Magical!
Review: This is the first book I've read by Lois Duncan and I must say I really enjoyed it. She is a great author who puts in a lot of details to her work. My favorite character was Nancy. She was different from Kirby and Brendon in a way that is hard to explain. She didn't want her special gift unlike Kirby who loved hers and Brendon who didn't seem to care either way. This book is great for all ages and I definietly recommend it to those who believe in magic.

Summary: Stephen's Review
Review: This story could be a lot more interesting, if they wanted it to be. I think this book is better for female readers because it is emotional and sensative.

Summary: Good Book
Review: This wasn't the absolute best book I ever read, but it was still really good. Totally worth reading, if you're into ESP or sci-fi or stuff like that.

Summary: A Gift of Magic
Review: Though normally a fan of Louis Duncan, "A Gift Of Magic" dissapointed me. The story seemed to drag on for ever, with no specific plot or planned path. Her characters seemed emotionless, and I felt no connection to them at all, the way I normaly do when I'm reading. It was only vaguely descriptive and the dialogue was dry. I didn't feel like I was learning anything more about Nancy's gift, only that she wished to keep it hidden from others besides her family. I kept reading, knowing that Duncan normally writes half of the book before getting into the plot, only to be thoroughly bored up until the very last page, where I was surprised only by the final sentence.

Summary: am I the only person who doesn't like Lois Duncan?
Review: What? This book was BORING! What was the deal with the boat thing, all it did was fill up a bunch of pages. I found myself skimming the end and most of the book. If Lois Duncan would have at least put some suspence in the book then it might have been good.the beginning was good, well, the first five pages. . . the rest of the book was horrible. The worst book that I had ever read! Another problem in the book is that everyone was so polite, the little brother kept on saying "For rat's sakes," now that's what i call unrealistic. That leads to another problem with the book. . . the writing was very very very bad! Some sentences didn't even make sence, it was all just drivel. If you ask me, don't read this book!!

Summary: Definatly, NOT the best book
Review: When I first saw this book, i thought that iut would be interesting; it wasnt. It was bad actually. All the kids were brats. While I was reading this book, I felt like beating up those kids. I had to force myself to finish this book; that never happened to me before. Only 1 out of the 6 Lois Duncan books I ever read was good. Just read the book for yourself and you decide whether you like it or not.

Summary: Very good book, but bad ending
Review: Wow I loved this book so much and now I am reading a nother one of her books called Don't look Behind You and so far that is really good. I loved this book alot, but I have read better. If you don't want your great read of this book ruined do not read the Epilogue, because that really ruined the book. I am now dredding the ending of this book might be the same way, which is very stupid.
