When lightning strikes there can only be 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!

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 ...
You know what's awkward? Re-reading a book you first read right when it came out, and thinking, "Geez, this book is dated." I am so old.Also, the ablist language ("retarded," "lame") drove me nuts. Because I know that Meg Cabot isn't an ablist individual (I mean, the main character's brother has sch...
