Cabot, Meg (2010). When Lightning Strikes. New York: Simon Pulse.
Jess is a normal teenage girl, that is until she is hit by lightning. Follow her adventures as she discovers she has a sense about where missing children are located.
When Lightning Strikes, something strange always seems to happen. This time it happened to me. Before that thunderstorm, I was just a normal girl (apart from always getting detention for hitting the football stars). I thought my “problem” was Ruth’s fault, but can I really blame her for everything that has happened to me since that day at the bleachers? Now I have to deal with putting my family and new friends in danger because of what that lightning did to me. How was I to know how much my life was going to change When Lightning Strikes?
I really enjoyed this book. It was different than what I thought it would be. Although it is a Chick Lit book, it did have a little bit of everything. It is part of a 5 book series that revolves around Jess and her new special power.
