It wasn't her fault. Sixteen-year-old Jessica Mastriani was on vacation when classmate Amber Mackey went missing. How could Jess—even with her newly acquired psychic ability to find anyone, anywhere—have stopped the varsity cheerleader from turning up dead, without having known she was missing in the first place?
But ignorance is apparently no excuse. Most of the student po...more

I was so tired after beatings of class activities, seemingly endless lecture, and hours of dozing and waiting for a professor to recheck our work (so didn't happen XD). After those, all I want to do is go to my room and dive on my bed and close my eyes

It's not really Jess Mastriani's fault that she didn't know Amber Mackey was dead. After spending most of the summer herding musical prodigies and Camp Wawasee, Jess spent the last two weeks before school started with her best friend's family at the Michigan dunes. How could she have heard that her classmate had been found strangled to death at a local hangout in the limestone quarry? If Amber's death is shocking to Jess, she is even more stunned to find out that most of her classmates at Ernie...more
Jessica Mastriani returns from her summer vacation to discover one of her classmates has been murdered. If that wasn't bad enough, many of Jess's classmates resent her for not being in town to save the girl with her 'Gift'. Then another girl from Jess's school goes missing and it's up to Jess to find her before she ends up dead, too.

In the third book of the Missing 1-800-WHERE-R-YOU series, Jess Mastriani comes home after her summer vacation and on the first day of school, when being nagged and unfairly accused of things she couldn't have known about, she finds out that a cheerleader from school had gone missing and she could have helped to find her before the girl was murdered. When yet another cheerleader vanishes, Jess knows she has to help, while simultaneously not reveal to her old FBI friends that she still possesses...more
Okay. So that summary, taken right from the back cover of the book, makes it sound like Jess is trying really hard to get into the ‘in’ crowd. Um, no.
This book picks up on the first day of school. Jess is now a junior, and she’s determined to make a good start. She has a new wardrobe, and wants to have a new attitude [aka loosing her anger management issues], and won’t spend every day in detention. Hopefully.
That all changes as soon as she gets to homeroom.

After Jess got back from working as a camp counselor at Lake Wawasee in Code Name Cassandra, Jess had two choices: work the hot plate at her father's restaurant or go to the Michigan dunes with her best friend Ruth Abramowitz. This may seem like a no brainer choice, but Ruth's dad doesn't believe in cable, won't allow a phone at the house except for his cell for emergencies, and her best friend Ruth is busy going out with her boyfriend the whole time. But when Jess found out that her Great-aunt...more

Another excellent book in the series! I just couldn't put it down, probably the fastest I've ever read a book.
The plot was enticing (though the suspect was still a bit too obvious to me) and I find it hard to have anything negative to say about Jess and Rob as characters. Rob remains perfect, as usual. Their romance is really developing at a pleasing rate. Can't stop rooting for them!
Douglas is so adorable, really. Getting a job was A+ character growth.

this whole 1800 where are you series was absolutely to die for. cabot's female voice's are usually the underdogs. the normal girls who aren't stand out gorgeous, who aren't loved by all, and who aren't on the a-list. the thing i loved the most was that jess never gave a shit* she was who she was regardless of who liked it (rob) and who didnt (her mom). this particular book of the series began to delve into more personal matters with jess and i loved how it ended. this books was amazing! i'm glad...more

I thought this book was interesting because it was mysterious and it kept me on the edge of my seat. On the train, when I read, I wouldn't put the book down when it got to my stop. The protagonist, named Jessica was on vacation when a cheerleader named Amber was missing and ended up being dead. People blamed her for Amber's death because Amber could have been saved. Jessica being the detective she is, kept her eye on Mark, Amber's boyfriend at the time. Then another cheerleader went missing and...more

I knew it from the start this is far too better than "Code Name Cassandra" maybe because of the fact that it didn't just deal on Jess being the Lightning Girl and all. Meg Cabot inserted other elements such as murder, etc. (the other two novels only tackle kidnapping and child custody).
So yes, I'm now reading the fourth installment and, I accidentally read the last line of the book. Hahaha. Rob and Jess will finally be together. Okay. That was a spoiler... or NOT. Hahahaha.

I thought this book was amazing it is perfect if you like romance and suspens!! it was definitely one of meg cabot best book series!!! the character she made Jess Mastriani is such an ellaborate character it was hard not to get sucked into this book. Jess is physic and has been able to find missing people so when one of her classmates shows up dead she is blamed for it when another one of her classmates is missing she takes action and trys to find her. Will jess find her missing classmate?

I actually find this book pretty cool than the previous one. Though the story was actually common or somewhat predictable because of the events in the story, it somewhat creep me out in a way due to the fact that my imagination is always "fired up" and I always put myself in the shoes of the protagonist. Well, it helps for you to understand it when you feel like you are the one going through those happenings. Anyway, the events were more intense in this book. Murder, kidnappings and torture were...more
Funny house Jess never really gets in trouble at school. How many people over the course of the books has she punched now, at school? The most she gets is a week detention and other times she gets away with it. Very unrealistic school here. Other than that... decent story. Not as good as the first, but better than the second in the series. Not sure where the title came from since the house shown on the cover was not a safe house.
5 stars for my fave heroine Jessica Mastriana. More actions than the last. And the book gets better and better when I read the entire series. Jessica's lightning power seems to get more complicated and she seems to be responsible for the death of her classmate Amber. Good thing there's Rob Wilkins to back her up and Karen Sue's face to sank her fist with. Can't wait to tead the next installment. Girl power rules :)
A book hard to identify with in one way, but easy to identify in another, Jess Mastrani is on another adventure, this time involving a dead cheerleader at her school. Although this book may be gruesome to some, I found it hilarious with the traditional Meg Cabot humor, mixed in with the suspense of the mystery, I'd recommend it to any girl who likes action, with sentimentality mixed in.
Third in a series. Jessica's classmates are dying, one-by-one, and everyone's convinced that she could have saved them. And when suspicion falls on her brother, Jess is determined to stop the real killer before someone else is added to the death toll.
A short, quick YA read. A bit darker than the rest of the series, but still good.

Third in the series. Jess returns from her summer as a camp counselor to find that one of her classmates has been murdered. When another classmate goes missing she uses her finding abilities to rescue the girl from an abandoned house. Nice, easy, read. These are the kind of books that keep young adults reading a Cabot book one after another.
this one was the best in this series coz she actually acted human and was scared for once. jess's sense of humor was, as always awesome. she was just as bad ass and she finally rode a bike. dougless was an amazing older brother. he made me smile and wish that i had big brothers too. plus, rob wilkins was hott :D and her mom pissed me off :/
it was good to read :)

I am enjoying this series. Jess is a great character. Her engaging first person narrative draws you right into her life, which since she was struck by lightning has become way too complicated. In this third installment, Jess and everyone else at her high school are shocked when a member of the cheerleading squad is murdered. Despite her insistence that she has lost her special psychic abilities, Jess is pulled into the case.
This is a quick read, and a bit fluffy, but it's geared toward teens so I wasn't surprised at that. For what it is, it's well-written and a lot of fun to read. This is the second book I've read from this series, and while I do wish I had read them in order, they're just as good if you don't. I look forward to reading the other books.
