Written in the Stars contains Lois Duncan's earliest stories - one published at the age of 13 - from an army sergeant whose suspicious behaviour sets off a chain reaction, to a group of children (humorously) tormenting their temporary guardian. This unique collection is a marvellous portrait of the depth and breadth of Duncan's work, covering topics such as WWII, parenthood, sibling relationships and love. As a special bonus, Duncan has followed each story with a brief essay describing her work and life at the time the story was written.
