Summary: Jess is BACK!
Review: Jenny's second addition to "1-800-Where-R-You" isn't as good as the first, but still offers the readers a second Jess adventure that has been anticipated since the first. When I read "When Lightning Strikes" I knew I would have to read "Code Name Cassandra".Jess isn't an average girl anymore..she's developed an ability to track down missing people in her head, when, after walking home with her friend Ruth, gets struck by lightning. She thinks everything is alright, since well now she's been denying her powers. But how long can she hide the truth? Jess' best friend convinces Jess to join a summer camp for musically gifted children. There, she must guide a group of hyper young boys. When an upset father comes pleading Jessica to find his missing daughter, she has no hope but to help him. All this results in an angry step father plotting to kill Jess..and a boy, who wasn't so special to Jess at first, become to the most important thing in Jess' life. Here she must enter a cave to save him and of course, hide from the angry step father.. This second book to the series will not be a dissapointment. This book gets very suspenseful near the end, when the step father is following her in the cave. The story is a little complicated for younger readers, but is enjoyable none the less. You won't be dissapointed with Jenny Carroll's second edition to "1-800-Where-R-You".

Summary: "Help me find my little girl."
Review: Jess Mastriani is back in the sequel to When Lightning Strikes. It's summer break and she's working as a counselor at Camp Wawasee, a camp for musically talented kids, when a man comes and begs for her to find his daughter who has been abducted by his ex-wife and her boyfriend, despite her claim that she no longer has her psychic powers. And how can Jess turn him down when she sees how desperate he is? Needless to say, her summer is chock full of excitement and chaos, and not to mention an ex-convict that wants her blood. Characters from the first book including Rob Wilkins, Ruth Ambramowitz, Douglas Mastriani, Rosemary, and Special Agents Allen Johnson and Jill Smith return for another page turning, fast paced, laugh out loud story.

Summary: Jess thought her troubles were over...
Review: Jess, dubbed Lighting girl for her ability to find missing children thanks to a bolt of lightning, though her troubles where over. Only a few people know about her special abilities: her best friend Ruth, her would-be boyfriend Roy, and her friend at 1-800-Where-R-You Rosemary. But when she signs up to be a councelor for a summer camp for gifted children she finds more problems than she can handle. Weather it's rotten kids or a not-so-loved fellow councelor, Jess just manages to take it in stride. But when a man comes for her, begging her help on finding his daughter, she find that she can't refuse. But soon she's getting into more trouble than she ever could imagine. I found this to be a very exciting book, just as good as the last one. I hope Carroll continues to write books in this seires. I'd love to hear what happens to the charecters next. If your a fan of the series I reccomend this fully. THe only complaint I have is the title, the whole Code name Cassandra thing has only a small part in the book. I think Lighting Girl or something like that would be a better title. But other than that the book was great.

Summary: Absolutely Hilarious Must Read!
Review: Jessica "Jess" Mastriani had finally convinced the FBI, the press, the military and everyone else in the vicinity of southern Indiana that she had lost her psychic powers and could no longer find missing people. Well, sort of. See, Jess knew that she was being followed by the FBI and that they were just waiting for her to accidentally show that she still did have her powers, but Jess had a system. When Jess had the chance to become a camp counselor at Camp Wawasee for the summer with her best friend, Ruth, she jumped at the chance to get the feds away from her house and to escape having to work in one of her family's restaurants for the whole summer. After all, how bad can a camp for musically gifted children be? Well, with a lame name like Camp Wawasee, Jess should have realized that her summer wasn't going to go the way she planned it. First, they took her Frangipani Cottage away with all of her little female campers who would have adored her and assigned her to Birch Tree Cottage where the little male campers were intent on making her life miserable - especially Shane. Shane was a football player wannabe who was stuck at music camp because that is where his mother wanted him to be. Jess would be just as happy to have him at football camp and she cannot believe that anyone who acts the way he does can play like an angel. She definitely has her hands full trying to keep Shane from picking on the other kids and trying to get him to believe that she really did lose her powers (even though she didn't). As if Jess didn't have enough problems, Jonathan Herzberg, a desperate father approaches Jess and begs her to find his daughter Keely. Jess refuses and tries to tell him that she doesn't find people anymore, but when he shoves the picture in front of her face, Jess knows that she will wake up the next morning knowing where Keely is whether she wants to or not. She isn't going to make the same mistake as last time though, this time she is going to make sure that Keely wants to be found.... This is the second book in the Lightning Girl series of the 1-800-WHERE-R-U series and it is just as entertaining as the first. Jess is a great lead character who is laugh out loud funny throughout the whole book. The other characters are great, too, but Jess is my favorite. Jess has a knack for getting herself into impossible situations and having to be creative to get out again and so it is always a surprise to see what she will do next. I highly recommend this series - all four of the books in this series (When Lightning Strikes, Code Name Cassandra, Safe House & Sanctuary) are all must reads!

Summary: Mystery and Music
Review: Sixteen-year-old tomboy Jess claims to have lost her amazing ability to find missing children (gained when she was struck by lightning). The FBI is not convinced though, and agents Smith and Johnson are still trailing her. Jess takes a job as a councillor at a summer camp for gifted musical children, and finds herself in charge of a cabinful of very rowdy boys. To make matters worse, one of the teachers at the camp discovers her guilty secret (not her psychic ability, her other guilty secret)Then a distraught father turns up at the camp, begging Jess to find his missing daughter. Jess can't resist helping him, but she needs the assistance of hunky Rob Wilkins, whose girlfriend she would like to be (if only he could overcome his scruples over their age difference). Finding the gilr plunges Jess into real danger though, as she becomes the target for a homicidal maniac. This is an exciting, fun mystery with lots of suspence and humour. Jess is a very likeable heroine, and Rob wilkins is utterly gorgeous (I do hope Jess manges to get him to forget the age difference).

Summary: Just as good as the last
Review: Unlike lots of books I've read, Code name Cassandra is just as good as When Lighting Strikes. Jessica Mastriani, hidding her strange powers from the FBI takes up a job at a summer camp for musically gifted kids.
When a desparate father comes to her to ask for her help to find his daughter, Jess risks her powers being known to help. With pycho's trying to kill her and annoying kids its one hell of a summer.
This books is a perfect read, the main character is brave and totally funny. Its yet another great read from Jenny Carroll. (auther of the princess diaries)

Summary: The thrilling second book in the 1-800-Where-R-You series.
Review: When Jess Mastriani was struck by lightning, she gained the amazing ability to locate missing people. But when the government tried to use her for her powers, she lied and said she had lost them. Now it's summer, and Jess is working at a camp for musically gifted kids. It's not her idea of fun, but it's better than spending her days working at one of her family's restaurants. Jess thinks she's safe from government agents at the camp. Then Jonathan Herzberg showed up. His ex-wife has kidnapped their five-year-old daughter, Keely. He's desperate to find her, and begs Jess to use her powers to locate Keely. Although she fears the government will find out about her lie, Jess can't say no. But by saving Keely, Jess will gain a very dangerous enemy. I highly reccomend this book to all fans of Jenny Carroll.
