A lightning strike gave her a super power...but even a super genius can't solve the problem of middle school. This smart and funny novel is perfect for fans of The Fourteenth Goldfish, Rain Reign, and Counting by Sevens. Lucy Callahan's life was changed forever when she was struck by lightning. She doesn't remember it, but the zap gave her genius-level math skills, and she's been homeschooled ever since. Now, at 12 years old, she's technically ready for college. She just has to pass 1 more test--middle school! Lucy's grandma insists: Go to middle school for 1 year. Make 1 friend. Join 1 activity. And read 1 book (that's not a math textbook!). Lucy's not sure what a girl who does calculus homework for fun can possibly learn in 7th grade. She has everything she needs at home, where nobody can make fun of her rigid routines or her superpowered brain. The equation of Lucy's life has already been solved. Unless there's been a miscalculation? A celebration of friendship, Stacy McAnulty's smart and thoughtful middle-grade debut reminds us all to get out of our comfort zones and embrace what makes us different.

This book, the fifth in the Lightning Brain Series, is the sequel to The Girl Who Cloned Lightning, and it traces - starting immediately from the previous book's galvanizing ending - an accelerating tangle of technological and sociopolitical intrigue running through Electra Kittner's professional and personal lives. Electra survives a rogue terrorist attack in the Middle East, returning to DC with two new friends: a tiny orphan girl named Qama and an emergent phenomenon from her AI software: the Singularity that calls itself Indira. The orphan enriches Electra's empathy and personal life. The Singularity extends her cognitive and professional possibilities. But once again, she and her loved ones are soon cast into danger, this time by an unknown hacker who leaks critical information. Electra battles technological, business, and sociopolitical foes intent on making her collateral damage. The theme for all books in the series is this: extraordinary people are sometimes victims of a primitive world that can't handle the truth, but no matter how exceptional they are they must still deal with the complexities of being "merely human," best handled with an optimistic and pragmatic philosophy.
