When Lightning Strikes

Summary: Fun mystery
Review: Sixteen-year-old Jess is a stroppy tomboy given to punching people who annoy her,consequently she spends a lot of time in detention, where she drools over gorgoues, hunky Rob Wilkins. Butr Rob is aGrit, a country boy, and Jess is a Townie, and they're not supposed to mix (I found this quite shocking, whatever happened to All Men Are Created Equal? Whatever happend to Democracy?). One day walking home after school, Jess is struck by lightning. She finds that this has given her the uncanny ability to find missing children, she looks at the pictures on the milk cartons, and then in the night she dreams exactly where the children are. She tries to remain anonymous, but soon the FBI are after her, wanting her to use her unusual talent to track down wanted criminals. And she finds she has made a mistake over one of the children she found, it turns out he didn't want to be found, and she has to put things right for him. She needs the gorgeous Rob to help her. This book isn't as funny as the 'Princess Diaries' but it is a very entertaining and exciting mystery, and Ruth is a very likeable heroine. Disgracefully, I found myself drooling over Rob too, even though I'm old enough to be his mother, I do hope Ruth manages to persuade him to overcome his scruples over their age difference (he's eighteen) and go out with her!

Summary: Book that keeps you reading
Review: The 1st installment of the 1-800-Where-r-u series

Jessie is somewhat of a normal girl at first, besides the fact that she punches guys twice her size and is in detention every day after school for as long as she lives. But this "ordinary" life of hers quickly changes after she is struck by lightning. She now finds out where missing children are when she wakes up every morning. But when she calls the 1-800-where-r-u hotline one too many times, the hotline begins to get suspicious......

This is one of the best books i have ever read! It'll make u laugh and root for Jessie all the way through the book!

Summary: A reallygood book. . .
Review: This book follows the adventures of Jessica Mastrianni. She’s a normal girl, with a normal family, at least until she walks in a thunderstorm and is hit by lightening. Yes, that’s right, hit by lightening. The lightening didn’t hurt her, but it did give her the ability to see where missing people are.

She immediately starts to take advantage of this and tries to help find where all the kids on the milk cartons are, and then calls the 1-800 number to inform the authorities. This causes two problems: 1) the authorities start to wonder why she knows where all of these missing children are and 2) not every child should be found by his parents.

So Jessica is forced to try to convince the government she doesn’t have psychic powers so they don’t need to put her in a special facility, while trying to convince the cute boy she likes that they are perfect for each other. And, oh yes, trying to help the child she hurt by finding him.

Jessica’s a funny, smart heroine who is very likeable. Her problems may not be every teenage girls problems, but she reacts like any teenager would.

Summary: When Lightning Strikes 1-800-where-r-u series by meg Cabot
Review: This book is really good. It is all adventurous and exciting. Everything about it is great. Jess is the main character and she has a big change in life when she walks home with her best friend right when a storm hits. They were walking and all of a sudden lightning starts going, so they decide to go hide behind bleachers and the lightning hits the bleacher that jess was holding on to and she get struck by lighting. Her best friend Ruth saw the whole thing and was freaking out. Jess said she didn't feel anything different about herself. When she got home she knew she couldn't tell her mom or dad so she goes and tells her brother and he says there would have to be a scar leading in and out. Nothing... she goes down and pours herself a glass of milk and reads the missing kids on the milk carton. When she goes to bed she dreams, about them. When she woke up she knew exactly where they were. She goes and finds them but it's not all good from there. This is a really good book, there twists and turns every where. This is a real page-turner. This is a series and it is really good. Its hair pulling to find out what happens every time to her. Have fun reading this great book:-)

Summary: Great Book
Review: This book was great. Jess is truly a person who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to go after it. I think that her blooming romance with Rob is so sweet, but he doesn't want to date her because she's too young. He's on probation and he doesn't want to get in trouble. This book was a great read.

Summary: AWESOME Book
Review: This book, When Lightning Strikes, is a tremendous mix of science ficiton and realism. Jessica, the main character, is an average girl in high school, that is, until her best friend (who is a bit over-weight) Ruth decides to take a walk from school to home.

As they are walking, a storm begins and they must find cover, for lightening begins to take charge in the sky. Jessica and Ruth are so desperate for cover, they go under a metal set of bleachers. Jessica clings onto it, and then, gets struck by lighting. From then on, Jessica isn't the same Jessica that decided to walk home with her best friend...

This is an awesome book that had me hooked from page one all the way until the back. Jenny Carroll/Meggin Cabot is an awesome author, and being a big Princess Diaries fan, I was happy to see she was not only a good author in that series, but overall.

Summary: This book and the rest of the series are the best!
Review: This is a great book. It has the enough mix of action, romance and suspense. It is entertaining and a book you can pick up and read again and again. When Jess is struck by lightening she as the ability to find kids on the back of milk cartoons. When the word is out she becomes mobbed by tv camaras at her house, and now the feds want her to find missing 'criminals'. But it isnt all its cracked up to be, and she just wants her life to be normal again, so she can go back to sitting next to the sexiest senior Rob Wilkins, in detention. But in order for her life to possibly go back to normal, she must first go on an mission.

Summary: Pretty disappointing....
Review: When I picked up this book, I had high expectations because Jenny Carroll did a great job with her other book series, The Mediator. I was disappointed. This book didn't keep me laughing or suspended and I found many errors about the military base, what with my father being in the military. This book was so boring that it took me a few weeks to read. When I picked the book back up, it was with hesitation. This book was a total let down and I recommend The Mediator series to everyone, not this series. I won't even bother reading the rest of the 1-800-WHERE-R-YOU series.
