Don't look Behind You is a suspenseful thriller by Lois Duncan. It's about a girl by the name of April Corrigan who used to live the perfect life in high school. Until her father who was testifing against a company gets shot at and his family is treatended. April's life is turned upside down when she has to move all the way to Florida with a new name of Valarie Weber. But she isn't really safe because the person that's been tracking her finds where she lives. ( )

Very good YA book - even after so many years. ( )

The 17 year old protagonist of this novel has been moved with her family by the witness protection program because her dad is basically a moron. She's not terribly bright herself, as she makes several obvious mistakes that lead the people searching for them right to their location. A juvenile or young adult reader may be more entertained by the story, but I was mostly just calling her an idiot in my head the whole time.
I have read other books by this author before and enjoyed them. I was excited to read this book. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. Duncan's work is better when it has a tinge of the supernatural. ( )

When April's dad participates in a sting designed to uncover a drug ring, the family is forced to enter the witness protection program and leave behind their old life. ( )

It was about a teenage girl whose family had to go into the witness protection program. At first she takes things lightly, thinking nothing would happen to her, but over the course of the book she learns that her experience was a real-life one and not a Cinemax movie where everything ends well. I think the book is good for teenagers to learn to listen to the instructions of their elders, even if they think the instructions are stupid at the time, because they could end up saving their lives.
