What makes Jess Mastriani so special? Why is she called "Lightning Girl" by the press and media? Simple: after 16-year-old Jess is struck by lightning, she develops an ability to find missing children. But Jess just wants to be normal; she definitely wants the media, press, and everybody else to leave her alone. She even tries lying and denying her powers to get some peace.
 
But it doesn't look like she's going to get her wish this summer. Jess has a job at an orchestra camp for musically gifted kids where, one day, a father shows up and begs Jess to find his lost daughter, Keely. Everybody's on her trail again, but Jess feels so badly for the family that she can't say no. The father tells her that the girl's mother and her boyfriend may have kidnapped Keely. Jess enlists her boyfriend Rob, and they head to where Jess thinks Keely might be: Chicago.

Will Jess be able to use her powers to find Keely and return her to her father? And what about Shane, one of the campers, who is missing? Everybody says that Shane drowned in the lake. Will Jess be able to find him alive and unharmed? Read this book to find out!
 
I liked this book because it made me think about having special psychic abilities and special powers. I think that would be amazing, cool, and really awesome! I think that if I really had the special powers my life would be really different and I would be saving a lot of people's lives.
