The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl

A lightning strike grants extraordinary abilities, yet navigating the complexities of middle school presents a unique challenge. This is the situation faced by Lucy Callahan, a twelve-year-old genius whose life was irrevocably altered by an electrical event.

While Lucy possesses advanced mathematical skills, her grandmother insists on a year of traditional schooling. The goal: to make a friend, join an activity, and read a non-math book. Lucy, accustomed to the predictable world of calculus, questions what seventh grade can offer.

The novel The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl explores Lucy's journey as she steps outside her comfort zone. It's a story about embracing individuality and the unexpected lessons learned when life's equations don't quite add up. This middle grade debut is a thoughtful exploration of friendship and personal growth.
