Authors: Lois Duncan
The Third Eye (26 page)
—R. L. Stine, author of the Goosebumps and Fear Street series
“I couldn’t be more pleased that Lois Duncan’s books will now reach a new generation of readers.”
—Judy Blume, author of
Forever
and
Tiger Eyes
“Lois Duncan has always been one of my biggest inspirations. I gobbled up her novels in my teens, often reading them again and again and scaring myself over and over. She’s a master of suspense, so
prepare to be dazzled
and spooked!”
—Sara Shepard, author of the Pretty Little Liars series
“Lois Duncan’s books kept me up many a late night reading under the covers with a flashlight!”
—Wendy Mass, author of
A Mango-Shaped Space, Leap Day
and
Heaven Looks a Lot Like the Mall
“
Lois Duncan is the patron saint of all things awesome
.”
—Jenny Han, author of The Summer I Turned Pretty series
“Duncan is one of the smartest, funniest and most terrifying writers around—a writer that a generation of girls LOVED to tatters, while learning to never read her books without another friend to scream with handy.”
—Lizzie Skurnick, author of
Shelf Discovery:
The Teen Classics We Never Stopped Reading
“In middle school and high school, I loved Lois Duncan’s novels. I still do. I particularly remember
Killing Mr. Griffin
, which took my breath away. I couldn’t quite believe a writer could DO that. I feel extremely grateful to Lois Duncan for taking unprecedented risks, challenging preconceptions and changing the young adult field forever.”
—Erica S. Perl, author of
Vintage Veronica
“
Haunting and suspenseful
—Duncan’s writing captures everything fun about reading!”
—Suzanne Young, author of The Naughty List series
and
A Need So Beautiful
“
Killing Mr. Griffin
taught me a lot about writing.
Thrilling stuff
. It was one of the most requested and enjoyed books I taught with my students. I think it’s influenced most of my writing since.”
—Gail Giles, author of
Right Behind You
and
Shattering Glass
“If ever a writer’s work should be brought before each new generation of young readers, it is that of Lois Duncan. The grace with which she has led her life—a life that included a tragedy that would have brought most of us to our knees—is reflected in her writing, particularly (from my point of view) in
I Know What You Did Last Summer
. Her stories, like Lois herself, are ageless.”
—Chris Crutcher, author of
Angry Management, Deadline
and
Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes
“Lois Duncan’s thrillers have a
timeless quality
about them. They are good stories, very well told, that also happen to illuminate both the heroic and dark parts of growing up.”
—Marc Talbert, author of
Dead Birds Singing, A Sunburned
Prayer
and
Heart of a Jaguar
