One day walking home from school Jess was hit by lightning, after that whenever she slept she saw where missing children where. I love Jess’s attitude, and Rob is one of my favorite characters. ( )This was a great book! To get the media and government off her back she tells them she has lost the power to find people! Jessica's working at a summer camp for gifted musicians. Due to a counselor's illness, she ends up with a cabin full of boys instead of the girls she was expecting. (Would that even happen? why could not the same things have happened with a cabin full of girls? It's not like Jess is a girly girl herself - she beats up people all the time, and is one of the things I like about her.). Missing kids ensue. Yeah, I liked this. This is a must for any reader who enjoyed Jenny Carroll's other series Mediator. 16 year old Jess was struck by lightning and aquired an unusual ability she has a psychic sense that allows her to find missing people. Jess would sooner that Rob the mysterious bad boy senior in detention would take in an interest in her, unfortunately it's the FBI who want her so badly. Jess clings tightly to her lie that her superpowers faded but not everyone believes her. In this book Jess is a music camp counsellor looking forward to nothing more than an even tan and to wipe the smile from her arch rival Karen-Sue Hanky's face. When a boy goes missing the FBI have other plans for her, so Jess must battle the FBI and save the day without anyone knowing that she still has psychic abilities. This is a fun installment of the series with Jess' trademark biting wit and sass a joy to read after years of sappy YA heroines who need a man to rescue them. There is some nice sparky dialogue between Jess and the Feebs as well as between her and Rob. The romance between Rob and Jess is simmering nicely, and it touches on the impact Jess' power has had on her family and school life. very suspenseful, and it had unexpected bits 0.062 seconds to build listing

Or has she? She would like the media and the government to think so. All Jess wants is to be left alone, by everyone except sexy Rob Wilkins -- who still hasn't called, by the way.... But it doesn't look like Jess is going to get her wish -- especially not while she's stuck working at a summer camp for musically gifted kids. Then the father of a missing girl shows up to beg Jess to find his daughter. Jess can't say no, but now the feds are on her trail again, as is one ornery stepdad, who'd like to see Lightning Girl...well, dead.
