AUTHOR:   Meg Cabot
AGES:   10th – 12th grades
REVIEW:   This teen thriller is not disappointing.  You can find synopses of the plot at Barnes and Noble or The Reading Zone.  Cabot nails the teen language, sarcasm and insecurities. You probably know Cabot from The Princess Diaries but she also write under pseudonyms.

The strength of this book is that it is pure entertainment.  There really aren't other commentary or underlying themes.  It's pretty much Jesse's story and the complications she faces as a result of gaining her new psychic powers.  Her oldest brother is fragile after his suicide attempt.  She comes to understand that everyone who is being searched for isn't lost.  While there aren't additional plots, we get little hints at teen angst and struggle from her overweight best friend to detention to cliques.  A great quick read.
