Rating: Summary: The thrilling second book of this series. Review: "Lightning Girl" Jess Mastriani has lost her unique psychic powers... or did she? After attention from the media and basically the whole world, summer's finally arrived and she's stuck as a counselor at a camp for musically gifted kids. Not only is her job painful, but when a man shows up begging Jess to find his missing daughter, trouble brews. Jess knows that she doesn't want any more attention than she had, but she also knows that if her powers aren't put to the test the missing kid may never be found.

Code Name Cassandra is the second exciting book in Jenny Carroll's 1-800-Where-R-You series, but the first book, When Lightning Strikes, is a little better. No fan of The Mediator and 1-800-Where-R-You series should miss this thrilling read.

Rating: Summary: A Delightful Read Review: I loved this book. I did not read the first book in the series, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I laughed so hard!! ...
Rating: Summary: Pleasantly Suprising Review: I started with the Mediator books and liked them well enough to try Jenny Carroll's other paranormal series, 1-800-Where-R-You and was pleasantly suprised to discover that I liked them better, maybe because Jess appeals to me more. Gifted with unwanted psychic abilities, something of a tom-boy with "anger-management" issues, she seemed much more believable than Suze the mediator. Certainly not great literature, but Code Named Cassandra offers a fast-paced story, appealing characters and humor. Trying to lie low Jessica takes a job as a counselor for gifted child musicians. Unfortunately no one who knows who "lightening girl" is wants to leave her alone. Hounded by incompetent FBI agents and a desperate father looking for his daughter, Jess is just trying to survive a cabin full of bratty boy campers and maybe get her sort-of-not boyfriend Rob to call her. A fun, fast-paced book to pass a winter day.
Rating: Summary: Code Name Cassandra Review: In Code Name Cassandra, sequel to When Lightning Strikes, Jessica Mastriani who has the capability to dream the exact location of literally anyone if she sees their picture, compliments of a bolt of lightning to the chest, has a summer job at Camp Wawasee, a summer camp for children gifted with musical abilities. Instantly her dreams of bonding with adorable violinist girls are crushed when she is asked to take over one of the boy houses since a male counselor got sick and no others applied. Jess is managing to deal with the little horrors posing as children when a distraught father manages to get her boss to allow him to plead with Jess to find his little girl who was kidnapped by her mother. But Jess doesn't want anyone knowing her ability didn't go away as she told the reporters it did. She especially doesn't want Jill and Allan, her surveillance team from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, to know. But she does it. She saves the little girl. But when she get's back to the camp it turns out one of her charges went missing during the polar bear swim, and was assumed dead in her absence, and not only that, but the little girl's stepfather apparently beat the ---- out of the father and is now seeking Jess with intent to kill. And the FBI is just waiting for a slip up. As always, Jenny Carroll wrote a great book.
Rating: Summary: i love meg cabot!! Review: In this book Jess is working at Camp Wawasee with her best friend Ruth. Jess gets switched from being a counseler in a girl cabin to a cabin full of boys. One of the boys, Shane, is a trouble maker and bullies Lionel, another boy in the cabin. Jess has tried to solve the problem of accidentally finding kids who want to be missing by letting Rosemary, the woman she always talks to on the 1-800-Where-R-U? phoneline, send her pictures and background info on the missing kid first. Then one day a man comes to the camp and asks Jess to find his daughter, Keely, and Jess tries to tell him she doesn't do that anymore, but she can't turn him down once he has shown her his picture of the little girl. Jess calls for Rob's help and they set off for the location she dreamed Keely was at.

Also after they partially solve that problem another arises, Shane is missing! Will Jess escape the psycho killer, and will they find Shane? Read the book to find out! It's so good I read this series in three days and it is four books total!!!
