She has to take on a boys cabin filled with not the nicest of boys and is faced with more than a few "chalenges". Can Jess survive this summer monitoring 8 teenage boys? Can she convince the feds the she has lost her pysic power forever? Find out.
Just as good as the last: Unlike lots of books I've read, Code name Cassandra is just as good as When Lighting Strikes. Jessica Mastriani, hidding her strange powers from the FBI takes up a job at a summer camp for musically gifted kids. When a desparate father comes to her to ask for her help to find his daughter, Jess risks her powers being known to help. With pycho's trying to kill her and annoying kids its one hell of a summer. This books is a perfect read, the main character is brave and totally funny. Its yet another great read from Jenny Carroll. (auther of the princess diaries)
Jess is BACK!: Jenny's second addition to "1-800-Where-R-You" isn't as good as the first, but still offers the readers a second Jess adventure that has been anticipated since the first. When I read "When Lightning Strikes" I knew I would have to read "Code Name Cassandra". Jess isn't an average girl anymore..she's developed an ability to track down missing people in her head, when, after walking home with her friend Ruth, gets struck by lightning. She thinks everything is alright, since well now she's been denying her powers. But how long can she hide the truth? Jess' best friend convinces Jess to join a summer camp for musically gifted children. There, she must guide a group of hyper young boys. When an upset father comes pleading Jessica to find his missing daughter, she has no hope but to help him. All this results in an angry step father plotting to kill Jess..and a boy, who wasn't so special to Jess at first, become to the most important thing in Jess' life. Here she must enter a cave to save him and of course, hide from the angry step father.. This second book to the series will not be a dissapointment. This book gets very suspenseful near the end, when the step father is following her in the cave. The story is a little complicated for younger readers, but is enjoyable none the less. You won't be dissapointed with Jenny Carroll's second edition to "1-800-Where-R-You".
Absolutely Hilarious Must Read!: Jessica "Jess" Mastriani had finally convinced the FBI, the press, the military and everyone else in the vicinity of southern Indiana that she had lost her psychic powers and could no longer find missing people. Well, sort of. See, Jess knew that she was being followed by the FBI and that they were just waiting for her to accidentally show that she still did have her powers, but Jess had a system. When Jess had the chance to become a camp counselor at Camp Wawasee for the summer with her best friend, Ruth, she jumped at the chance to get the feds away from her house and to escape having to work in one of her family's restaurants for the whole summer. After all, how bad can a camp for musically gifted children be? Well, with a lame name like Camp Wawasee, Jess should have realized that her summer wasn't going to go the way she planned it. First, they took her Frangipani Cottage away with all of her little female campers who would have adored her and assigned her to Birch Tree Cottage where the little male campers were intent on making her life miserable - especially Shane. Shane was a football player wannabe who was stuck at music camp because that is where his mother wanted him to be. Jess would be just as happy to have him at football camp and she cannot believe that anyone who acts the way he does can play like an angel. She definitely has her hands full trying to keep Shane from picking on the other kids and trying to get him to believe that she really did lose her powers (even though she didn't). As if Jess didn't have enough problems, Jonathan Herzberg, a desperate father approaches Jess and begs her to find his daughter Keely. Jess refuses and tries to tell him that she doesn't find people anymore, but when he shoves the picture in front of her face, Jess knows that she will wake up the next morning knowing where Keely is whether she wants to or not. She isn't going to make the same mistake as last time though, this time she is going to make sure that Keely wants to be found.... This is the second book in the Lightning Girl series of the 1-800-WHERE-R-U series and it is just as entertaining as the first. Jess is a great lead character who is laugh out loud funny throughout the whole book. The other characters are great, too, but Jess is my favorite. Jess has a knack for getting herself into impossible situations and having to be creative to get out again and so it is always a surprise to see what she will do next. I highly recommend this series - all four of the books in this series (When Lightning Strikes, Code Name Cassandra, Safe House & Sanctuary) are all must reads!
A Delightful Read: I loved this book. I did not read the first book in the series, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I laughed so hard!! ...
