Jr.J writes the following about Locked in Time :

LOCKED IN TIME - by: Lois Duncan I think that Lois Duncan wrote a very well-composed novel using three main literary elements. The first one is character. This element is used very well to tell the story, particulary using Norm's (the main character) step family. The next element used is setting. Duncan uses setting to create a mood of mystery and suspense. For example, the house that Norm's new family lives in is far out in the country, isolated from everyone else. The last element used effectively is point of veiw. The point of view in the novel is first person point of view. The story is told through Norm's eyes and therefore you know her thoughts and feelings towards different issues. Lois Duncan creates a very well written novel using these three elements to create a suspenseful mystery.
