I really enjoyed this book. It was the second I have read by this author and I liked this one considerably more than the first. I would recommend this book for anyone 13 or older.

Lois Duncan is a great author for suspenseful thrillers for teens (12 & up is what Amazon suggests as the reading age). Is the main character's cousin really her cousin or an imposter? Duncan is a master at weaving interesting twists into her stories. Read this book and then watch the 1978 movie by the same title starring Linda Blair (on DVD at Amazon). Both are cult favorites.
