When Lightning Strikes by Meg Cabot

When Jessica Mastriani agrees to walk home two miles just because her friend is self conscious about her weight, something very strange happens. A lightning storm occurs and Jess gets struck by a bolt of lighting when the two girls are hiding under metal bleachers. When she wakes up the next morning, she has a new power that she never had before. She knows where the kids are on milk cartons. Jess is confused about how she knows this, but then it comes back to her that it was probably the lightning that hit her. The future of these missing kids is now in Jess's hands. Thinking she is doing the right thing, she calls the 1-800 where are you association telling them that she knows where the missing kids are. Some of them are safely returned back home, but one child is being forced to go home to a father who has been charged for child abuse against him. Now Jess has to fix her huge mistake and help the boy be reunited with his mother. I thought this book was really good. I zoomed right through it, and I recommend it to all teens.
