| The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl |
Lucy Callahan is a math genius. After being struck by lightning at age 8,
Lucy became a “savant”. Her math skills
are phenomenal! She is only 12 years
old, but already she has finished high school courses and can begin applying for university. But after doing all her
schoolwork at home, she is still unfamiliar with the ups and downs of school
life.
Although she has super powers when it comes to math, she
has never really made a friend. Much to
Lucy’s chagrin, her Nana wants her to spend one year in middle school before
she goes to college. Lucy wonders what
she could possibly have to learn.
Lucy agrees to attend grade seven at East Hamlin Middle School. She quickly becomes known for her quirky
habits of standing up 3 times before sitting and cleaning every surface with
cleansing wipes. In an attempt not to
draw more attention to herself, Lucy tries to act like an average kid in math
class and even gets answers wrong on purpose.
Lucy soon makes friends with Windy and Levi, and they team
up to work on a volunteer project to help pets at the Pet Centre. But it turns out that friendship is tricky in
middle school. Another classmate,
Maddie, is constantly making fun of Lucy and trying to get Windy away from her.
Despite the problems, Lucy does learn a lot in middle
school and might not even want to leave.
If you’ve ever felt a little different from the crowd, this book is for
you!
