1-800-Where-R-You: Code Name Cassandra

Reader reviewed by Ruthie

Again, I loved this book! Jess continued to make me laugh and although she was on vacation, we still heard from Rob (Yummy.) This book brought back pleasant memories. The characters were original and relateable. I especially liked the ending of this book. It was somewhat unexpected and, as usual, humorous. Overall this book had all the qualities of an awesome novel!

This mystery/thriller/romance is forgettable. It's not one of meg cabots best books. When Jess was hit by lightning, she got the ability to find missing people. She'd given it up, except for in private, because the media was swarming her. It did not keep me reading....

This is the second book to the series "1-800-where-are-you?" In this book Jess runs from her psychic ability and decides to live a normal, teenage life. She decides to attend a summer camp and take on the task of campers and friends, over finding missing people.


This book was pretty good. I liked it more than the first book. I like the character of Jess, but I think that it's sad that she has to run away and can't really use her 'gift' to helping find people, because the government is always after her. I think that if someone was really able to sense missing people through their dreams, they should try harder than Jess did. Although, Jess really is a caring character, she just doesn't know what to do.


Nonetheless, it was a good book.

also i fell sorry for the dad of the lil girl that went missing he must have felt terrible but one of the most hilarios thing that happened thoughout the whole book had to be when jess was trying to seduce her almost Bf and how he was trying to avoid it even though everyone knew he secretly love it and shane making her life miserable bcuz she was "lighting girl" and teased about how he through that he didn't though she told the true and she still could see missing children and how shane at the end LOss his gift to play so he could finally go to football camp overall loved it

Code Name Cassandra was the best book I've read in a long time. Actually, since Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! A girl with short hair who loves Harleys and has a psychic ability to locate people? Sign me up!!! I reccomend this book to anyone who loves a thrill and girls who say exactly what they want!

I really like all of Meg Cabots books they're great
but the 1-800-where-R-U series, in my opinion is the best, this book was a little shorter than the rest but Jessica Mastriani is a really spunky chracter,
always trying to go after Rob, and getting herself into hilarious situations.

In this book she is blamed for not saving a girl from dying, so it almost happens a second time but she saves the girl.

This book is just amazing. It captures your attention (and imagination) right from the start. The bullet-fast story gives you a lot of entertainment that makes it hard to keep this book out of your hands! The plot is well-written and the characters, though normal, are very out of this world! It is really nice to come across a story like this. It's fun, unique and really interesting. This book is the very reason why pages are better than TV programmes. If you think you'd be bored easily by this book, think again! I bet you'll want to read it over and over again and anticipate the next one of the series. It's hugely entertaining. And also, there are some parts which give you moral lessons, which I think are quite nice, actually. It is very suitable for teenagers and adults alike.

In this second installment by Meg Cabot in the 1-800-where-R-you series we find Jessica Mastriani at a camp for musically talented children. She's a counselor on account of watching little kids is a step above from working the steam table in her dad's restaurant.
Her finding-missing-people-without-ever-meeting-them ability is still in her possesion although except for a few indiviuls the rest of the world thinks ohterwise.
But when a desperate father arrives at the camp seeking Jess's help for his kinapped little girl how can she say no? She agrees but first enlists the help of Rob wilkins and his motorcylce to investigate the background information of the case. Along the way she accquires an enemy with too many head screws loose, loseses a camp kid, blows up a van, and finds out that the Feds are on her tail again.
What's a girl to do?
Once again Meg cabot manages to woo the reader with story that makes putting the book down for a bathroom break seem unthinkable. Jessica is the same-o punch yor face now ask questions later girl with relateable personality that allows the reader to conect with her cahracter. I have to say that I did miss the biker gang that heleped jess out of a jam in the previous book. But still a good read.

This book was great.I loved it so much. It is about a girl that is hit by lighting and got physic powers from it.This girl can look at a picture of someone that is missing and fall asleep and then when she wakes up in the morning she will know were to find that person. She thinks there is no problem until the press starts to find out and then the goverment is trying to get her to work for them. And over all she is just trying to survie high school. This is a great read from one of my favorite authors. Once you read this one you have to read more.

OK so by now you know she has been struck by lightning, and lied to the FEDs about loosing her powers, or maybe the world, to except for her best friend Ruth. Jess and Ruth go to band camp as counsellers and thought it would be a blast. But when your kids won't go to sleep and Jess tells her boys about scray stories, and it goes to far. When one of her boys goes missing, they refer to her as the lightning girl to find him, as well when a ex-husband comes and asks her to find his little girl, and when Jess brings her back to his father, the Step-father wants her...dead.
