Review: Karen Conners was thought to be one of the most ordinary students in school, but she was anything but ordinary. Karen was blessed with a wonderful ability to find missing children. The Third Eye, by Lois Duncan was an interesting tale of the struggles of a young woman and her denial of the gift she possessed. I enjoyed reading the story so much because I did not find one point where I lost interest or became confused. I would recommend this story to just about anybody. Two particular incidents in the story I found to be most interesting are also the events that are most important. The first involves Karen, of course. For Karen, everything happened way too fast. She was babysitting at the Zenners when she realized the Zenners' son Bobby was missing. Karen's search around the neighborhood yielded no results. All of a sudden, Karen began to experience a strange feeling. No more than seconds later, visions began to appear in her head. The visions Karen saw were of the place where Bobby was trapped. This event was when Karen realizes she has a special gift. The problem with the missing child was especially important because this is when the reader is first introduced to Karen's powers and the reader is also able to decipher more of what Karen's character is all about. I liked this incident mainly because of the way Duncan built up on the characters by developing unique traits according to each character's point of view. I chose the next incident because this is also a really important event. I was given more of an in depth description of Karen's gift. Duncan explained how her gift works under certain circumstances. Due to Karen's experience finding Bobby, letters from parents with missing children from all over the world began to arrive at Karen's house. Frantic parents would call her house at all hours begging and pleading for her help. Karen gave in to one mother, only because police came to her house and begged for help. A little girl had been missing for about two weeks. The last time she was seen was with her father. The child's father came to visit the little girl, and he brought her a new bicycle. The mother's only hope was to find the child. She did not care where she was, as long as she was returned home dead or alive. Karen spent some time in the child's room and around the house in hopes of getting some sort of vision. Karen eventually gave up. She thought all was lost, when, all of a sudden, on her way home she began to give the police officer directions to a place where she had never been before. The place ended up being a river where only the bike and a pair of shoes lay. The child had apparently gone for a swim and never returned. After this incident, Karen never ever wanted to use her powers again. She felt as if she had some what of a responsibility for the drowned child. Karen had never felt so awful in her life. At this point in the story, I had no idea if Karen was every going to use her powers again. At this, I really became interested because I knew for a fact that one more main event had to take place. I just never knew what was going to happen. The story really got me interested when I realized I just had to find out if Karen ever used her powers again. Overall, the Third Eye was a good way of realizing different points of view. From my perspective, Karen was the perfect example of an every day person. Karen had to figure out a way to put others before herself and not get hurt trying. Because I like the way Lois Duncan expressed herself, I have come to the conclusion that I will definitely read other stories written by her. I would recommend this story to just about anyone who would appreciate the valuable morals that Duncan expressed.

Summary: It was cool
Review: "The Third Eye" was the second book I read of hers. After reading three more books, I finally bought all of them. An "addict" you can call me, 'cause I just love Duncan's writing! Not only is it a real pager turner, but it is also freaky when you finally know what happens at the end of her books! Definately a five star!

Review: When I read this book I couldn't put it down. It just kept on getting better and better. It's very interesting. I want the gift to find missing children. I could become famous! But there would be a down side. It would be kind of scary. I think you should read this book whoever is reading this.

Summary: This book will leave you wondering what's fact or fiction.
Review: Lois Duncan has written an astounding book.The story is wonderfully written and combines modern life with mystery. Karen and Ron are two of the most realistic characters that I have ever read about. She put together reality and fantasy to create a great teen or young adult novel.

Summary: One of Duncan's best
Review: The Third Eye is a book about a girl who discovers she has the gift to see missing children. Its a gift she tries not to use, but a cop forces her too and eventually leads her on a wild-goose chase for a group of missing kids. One of my favorite books written by Lois Duncan, Karen is a very likable character and I liked the little surprise at the end.
