Lois Duncan is on her own cover…

I’ve already become slightly obsessed with the Lizzie Skurnick Books reissues of classic YA fiction – the first of these, Lois Duncan’s DEBUTANTE HILL – but until this interview, I had no idea the slightly-hostile looking girl in the foreground of the book cover was Duncan herself – at sixteen. Pissed, because some “creepy boy” was driving her Jeep.

Sixteen, and pouting in bright pink, Technicolor life. What a cool snapshot of a moment in time. Too bad photography from the late eighties could never make me look that awesome.

About the author

tanita s. davis is a writer and avid reader who prefers books to most things in the world, including people. That's ...pretty much it, she's very boring and she can't even tell jokes. She is, however, the author of nine books, including Serena Says, Partly Cloudy, Go Figure, Henri Weldon, and the Coretta Scott King honored Mare's War. Look for her new MG, The Science of Friendship in 1/2024 from Katherine Tegen Books.
