Lois Duncan is an acclaimed suspense author for young adults. She has published nearly 50 books for children, including I Know What You Did Last Summer, which was adapted into a highly-successful horror film, and Who Killed My Daughter?, a non-fiction book about the harrowing experience of her daughter's murder.
Gr 7 UpÄEd Sala narrates the dramatic story by Lois Duncan (BDD, 1990) about a youthful prank that goes bad, mushrooms tragically as the participants try to hide the results, and changes the lives of all those involved. His sensitive, slightly raspy, and laid back voice allows listeners to hear the story itself. He reads at a slightly slower pace keeping the story flowing, yet allowing apprehension to build and tension to mount. Sala's special talent is that he does not try to differentiate between the speakersÄhe lets Duncan's words do this. The suspense builds from her words, and listeners totally forget that there is a narrator. A very effective way to introduce Lois Duncan.ÄClaudia Moore, W.T. Woodson High School, Fairfax, VA
