The Twisted Window

1991Lois Duncan

4.4/5

This is a pretty good YA psychological thriller, in which a gullible, alienated 17-year-old girl is enticed by a strange (in both senses of the word) boy into abetting him in a harebrained scheme to abduct his missing toddler sister, who he says was kidnapped by her divorced father. She goes along with the plan even though she knows from the beginning that there is something "off" about this boy. What could possibly go wrong?Originally published in 1987, the book was updated for reissue in 2012. I'm not sure the updating of these books was really necessary, as it seems mainly to consist of thinking of reasons why people can't use their cell phones (they forgot to bring their charger, no signal, etc.).Anyway, I always enjoy Lois Duncan's suspense novels, and I was glad to find one I hadn't read yet.
