OH MAN it crushes my poor cold heart to sand to have to tell you this, because I used to borrow this book from the library over and over and over when I was in fifth grade and it's one of the things that really made me like books so goddam much, but it's just all about like "Native American people are mysterious and magical," which is not an okay theme.

So sad! I was so stoked when I found it in a little used bookstore in Kokomo Indiana, because when I was little I think I just thought Laurie Stratton was so grown up- she called her siblings "the children" and her mother "Mother," and had a boyfriend, and learned to astrally project herself long distances- but man, what a downer, to be like "I can do magic shit because I'm secretly a Navajo alien or something.

Bren fall in love with the sea. This book is genuinely scary and has remained so. Did a reread recently and I thin k it got scarier! No blood. No gore. Just creepy scary. Plus it is just an awesome story with awesome characters.

Did anyone reading this really not fall in love with Jeff? Cmon, of coarse you did! And I also wanted Helen for a friend. That was my only quibble.

I really wanted to know how her story ended. I love the New England island feel, the ocean, the rocks and the waves. Everything about it was perfect.

Highly recommended to YA mystery lovers who prefer great story telling to gore, blood, and Freddy Kruger. I read this book years and years ago. In fact, I wasn't sure I had actually read it until I saw the summary of it in Bitch magazine. It's a really creepy premise.

A teenage girl is doing astral projection and while she's out of her body, the sister she didn't know she had slips her spirit into the vacated body. Well, something like that happens. I may have the details wrong about who the girl who slips into the body is. In any case, the protagonist is floating around in spirit, watching some other spirit propelling her body around. Of course, everyone thinks the protagonist's body is inhabited by the protagonist's spirit, and there's not much she can do to correct the mistake.

Kept me too scared to try astral projection during the time I thought it was maybe possible. I haven't read this book in a very long time. But I first discovered it when I was probably years-old and I just kept taking it out of the library!

The librarians used to look at me and say, "Well there you go again Paula. What if your friends suddenly started acting strange and told you you did things that you don't remember? What if you started seeing strange things through your own eyes? This book is creepy, but a real page turner. This wasn't my first Lois Duncan but it will probably be my last.

Duncan's writing is dated and simplistic by today's YA standards. It just doesn't seem to cut it for more reasons than one. The story was published in and it was very clear exactly where the author added updates.
