Kit has been accepted to the exclusive Blackwood School for Girls. She is disturbed by the house, and is shocked to find that there are only 4 students. Soon, all of the girls are disturbed by strange dreams and abilities they never knew they had start emerging.

This is a terrificly chilling book- Lois Duncan is a master at young-adult suspense. ( )

A sort of "scary", paranormal story. Duncan does suspense well and got the teenage girls' characters right. I go back and read this every few years. It loses a little tension with age (and expectation) but is still good. ( )

This is one of my all-time favorites. This author is amazing. ( )

I know Lois Duncan's audience is typically classified as being two things I am not. Female, and in middle school. But I have reread this book many times and years after the first time I am impressed at how well it has stood the test of times. The particular plot point that makes this book special is fascinating...Duncan with this book alone justifies her prolific output. ( )

Lois Duncan's creepy is very superior to the attempts of Christopher Pike or R.L. Stine. There's a certain degree of realism and a humanity to her characters that keeps them from being cartoonish, as the other authors of her genre are likely to be. This is one of her best books. ( )
