    November 09, 2009: Stranger With My Face by Lois Duncan is one of the best fantasy thriller book I have ever read. Once you start reading this book, you will not be able to put it down. This book is full of suspense and will definitely entertain the reader. This book takes place in modern New England, on Brighton Island. Laurie, the main character of the book, doesn't have a close relationship with her parents. However, she has a good life. Laurie was to attend a party on the beach, but got sick and didn't go. However a person who looked just like her was spotted on the beach. Laurie denied she went to the party. Later, a person identical to Laurie began to appear at her home and at school. Laurie senses something strange is happening. While sleeping at night, she sees a person identical to her named Lia. She cannot tell if it was a dream or something real. Laurie later discovers that she was adopted and has a twin sister name Lia. Laurie learns that Lia has gone from foster home to foster home. She also discovers that Lia is a bad person. Laurie wants to find out where her Lia lives now. Lia is jealous of her and tricks Laurie into giving up her body through astral projection, and Laurie struggles to regain it. What will Laurie do when her life is taken? Read this book to find out. I liked this book, because there were no dull parts throughout the book.

    October 06, 2009: Laurie, Megan, Neal, Mom and Dad are the five main characters. Laurie's family is different from all the other families on Brighton Island. Her dad likes to write stories and so does Megan. Her mom is a painter and Neal also likes to paint. But Laurie doesn't have anything in common with any of them.

    Laurie learns that she has a twin sister and they were separated at birth. Her sister Lia visits her nightly through astral projection. She tries to teach Laurie how to project herself astraly.

    Laurie starts to learn more about Lia and how she has gone from home to home and hasn't stayed at any of them very long. She tries to find out where Lia is now so they can talk face to face. As she learns about her even more she realizes that she isn't a nice person.

    Will Lia end up being a horrible person that maybe Laurie doesn't want anything to do with anymore? Or will she end up the best sister ever? If you want to learn more about this book read Stranger with my Face.

    I really liked this book. I would recommend it for middle school kids. If you like exciting blood rushing books this is the one for you!
