Missing: When Lightning Strikes - Meg Cabot ... trouble - as Jessica Mastriani finds out when she and best friend Ruth get caught in a thunderstorm. Not that Jess has ever really avoided trouble before. Instead of cheerleading there are fistfights with the football team and month-long stints in detention - not that detention doesn't have its good points - like sitting next to Rob - the cutest senior around! But this is trouble with a capital T - this trouble is serious. Because somehow, on that long walk home in the thunderstorm, Jess acquired a newfound talent. An amazing power that can be used for good...or for evil.

This book was exceptionally good; it beats all books ever made, well in my opinion anyway! This auth writes under 2 names both Meg Cabot and Jenny Carroll...
