Summary: Offensive!
Comment: Jenny Carroll aka Meg Cabot's use of the term grits in this book is very offensive to southerners. She basically says in her latest book that people who eat grits are trashy, uneducated, racist scum. I cannot believe that she would put something like that in her book. If she had made a comment about a specific race, there would already be tons of reviews crying out against that but for whatever reason, Miss Cabot thinks it's okay to bash southerners. I think it'd disgusting and it's nothing but a form of hatred. Grits are a staple in any true southerners diet. They're eaten with breakfast, as a snack, with lunch or dinner. Blacks, whites, all races of people who grow up in the south eat grits. Rich or poor. It's a normal, everyday thing. It is not something only done by "crackers" which is what she basically says in her book. Also, her book insinuates that there is something wrong with the confederate flag. The flag does not stand for the kkk or any form of racism. The flag is about southern pride. The kkk did use the flag but that does not mean that everyone who flies the flag is racist. Terrorist groups attack innocent people in other countries and wave their flags but no one says that those flags are evil or racist. Cabot should have done some research on the confederate flag and grits before she used them in her horribly offensive book. I won't be buying or reading any more of her novels. She is nothing but a hateful person as far as I am concerned.

Summary: Woah.......
Comment: I want to agree with Silmarwen (earlier). This book, along with the other three books in the 1-800-WHERE-R-YOU series are soooooo good. I can't describe in words how good they are. You have to read the book to know what I'm talking about. Meg Cabot has a wonferful sence of humor and enfuses it into her characters making them all the mor loveable. I cant tell you how many times I laughed at Jess's sassy remarks. I loved this book and so will you. My advice? BUY IT!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Another Great Book By Carroll/Cabot!
Comment: Jessica "Jess" Mastriani was never what anyone would call a normal girl, but ever since she was hit by lightning, she can find anyone if she sees a picture of them. Since getting this new talent, Jess' life was made miserable by the media and the military, so Jess pretended that she can't find anyone anymore and so is officially without powers. However, there are a few people that know she can find people and most of the people in town, as well as the FBI, are pretty sure that she is faking. So when Dr. Thompkins, the new African American doctor who just moved in across the street, swings by on Thanksgiving to ask Jess if she knows where Nate, his son is, Jess tries to explain that she doesn't do that anymore. Turns out that Dr. Thompkins has no idea what Jess can do and was just trying to find out if she had seen Nate, as in with her eyes while awake. Anyway, Jess is way too busy trying to sneak out of the house and over to Rob's house for her second Thanksgiving dinner to worry about where Nate is, until she is on her way home. While Rob follows her on his motorcycle, Jess is stopped by a roadblock on the road and immediately assumes it is because she doesn't have a driver's license. Okay, Jess is way old enough to drive and is a totally safe driver, she just likes to go a little fast. I mean, how bad is it to be going 80 in a 25 mph zone? Anyway, Jess soon finds out that the reason for the roadblock is they found Nate's body in a cornfield with a weird snake like tattoo carved on his chest. Unluckily for Jess, Dr. Krantz, a special agent who is in charge of an elite team of "specially-gifted" crime solvers is on the scene to once again question if Jess has really lost her talents.
Jess feels guilty about not being able to save Nate and she knows when Seth, a Jewish boy, is missing and the synagogue is set on fire that she has to do something. She dreams of Seth and knows where he is, calls in an anonymous tip, but doesn't tell the police that there are men with guns guarding Seth. One of the cops is in critical condition after being shot and Jess knows that it is her fault. She is determined to find Seth without getting anyone else involved - except for Rob, of course. Rob gets a bunch of bikers from Chick's Bar to join them on their insane quest to rescue Seth from a group of white supremacists who live out in the woods and Jess is off on another one of her wild adventures...
This is the 4th book in the "Lightning Girl" or 1-800-WHERE-R-U series and it is just as hilarious and entertaining as the first three. Of all of Cabot's/Carroll's series I would have to say that Jess is my favorite heroine and always makes me laugh while I am reading. She is very honest and just says what she is thinking or feeling and it is just so funny! Jess is always trying to get Rob to kiss her and to be her boyfriend, but he cannot date her because she is only 16 and he is 18 and on probation. The situations she gets Rob and herself into are very entertaining. I cannot recommend this series highly enough - all of the books by Cabot/Carroll are great, but this one is the best! I simply cannot wait for another book in this series - I really hope that she keeps writing more!
