This sticks with her, it guides everything she does from her on out. He was really afraid of the abusive father that his mother kidnapped him from and when she reported his location she nearly messed things up for him and his mother in a big way. She assumed he was afraid of his kidnappers. One of the most important moments was when Jess went out to check on the location of a missing boy that she'd dreamed and was told by that boy to go away and leave him alone. I'm not sure I so much cared about the psychic aspects of this book because what was more important to me was how Jess dealt with her new powers and all the responsibility that came with them. Oh, and punching Jeff Day for calling her best friend Ruth fat. 'It's all Ruth's fault.' That's Jess' statement about everything that happened, from getting struck by lightning, gaining mysterious psychic powers leading her to find missing kids, and getting tangled up with the FBI. Of course I wouldn't risk it but in my mind I visualize it happening. This book tempts me to hide under metal bleachers during a thunderstorm to see if I would get a star scare like Jessica and get psychic powers.

I somewhat reenact the book in my mind as if it really would happen to me in real life. I rethink the story after the book and replace the main character as me instead. I like reading books that put me into the place of the main character and suspiciousness. Recommend this book to teens and tweens that like to read mystery mixed with romance and unique people. I like putting myself into the book and imaging that I am Jess and get struck by lightning and have psychic powers to find kids that are missing. The FBI s keep track of Jessica and will never leave her out of their sight.I really enjoyed this book and the rest of the series. Her boyfriend Rob Wilkins and his friends help her and a little boy taken from his mother by his abusive father from the base they are being kept at. Soon the FBI kick in and take her to a base and try to have her use her powers on missing convicts in the area that are said to have escaped jail, but are dead. Jessica keeps waking up knowing where a missing child is and is all over the news. She is then to discover that she is psychic. Jessica calls an agency known as 1-800-Where-R-U. Soon she wakes up the next morning knowing where a missing child is.
