Just because her best friend wants to exercise, Jessica Mastriani agrees to walk the two miles home from their high school. Straight into a huge Indiana thunderstorm -- and straight into trouble. Not that Jess has never been in trouble before.

I finally got around to starting the books on Sunday night, as my vacation was in its final hours. Today, Tuesday morning, I have finished books one and two and started book three, so ...

Because I know that Meg Cabot isn't an ablist individual (I mean, the main character's brother has sch...
