I devoured Lois Duncan books in elementary and middle school. They were my Babysitter’s Club. Looking back, I’m not sure if it made me a little freaky that I preferred reading about murders and ESP to hair braiding and training bras.
In Stranger with My Face, two twins are separated at birth but reunited when one of them uses astral projection to reconnect with the other one. Turns out the astral one is actually evil and attempting to steal the life of the good twin. I like to think that Christine would be the astral one in our version of Stranger with My Face. While I cowered under the covers scaring myself at night with these books, she was brave (or evil?) enough to take a chance on all of the Fear Street books.
Conveniently, Lifetime recently made a TV adaption of Stranger with My Face. Life lessons from it:
- Don’t befriend your long lost twin that comes to visit you via physcadellic modes of transportation.
- Take a chance on the handicap guy because the popular jock is just going to try and grope you.
