More About This Book

Overview

Ever since a walk home on a particularly stormy day, Jessica Mastriani has had an ability like no other. She became known worldwide as Lightning Girl—a psychic who could find the location of anyone, dead or alive. Jess finally had no choice but to embrace her newfound talent, and ended up lending her skills to the U.S. government.

But her work for them has taken a terrible toll, and Jess resurfaces months later a shadow of her former self, her powers gone, Lightning Girl no more. Her only hope is starting over in a new place, a big city where nobody knows her. It's only when Rob Wilkins unexpectedly shows up on her doorstep that she's forced to face her past. Rob, all the way from back home, needs her help. But how can Jess, her powers gone, find anyone, let alone the sister of a man she once loved . . . when she can't even find herself?

Meet the Author

Meg Cabot
Meg Cabot

Meg Cabot was born in Bloomington, Indiana. In addition to her adult contemporary fiction, she is the author of the bestselling young adult fiction series The Princess Diaries. She lives in Key West, Florida, with her husband.

Biography

Meg Cabot knows that one of the best cures for feeling gawky and conspicuous is reading about someone who sticks out even more than you do. Her books for young adults invariably feature girls who have extraordinary powers that carry extraordinary burdens. Cabot's Princess Diaries series offers up the secret thoughts of Mia Thermopolis, who discovers at age 14 that she is actually the princess of a small European country. This revelation adds significantly to her extant concerns about crushes, friendships, school, and other matters falling under adolescent scrutiny.

Cabot, a native of Indiana weaned on Judy Blume and Barbara Cartland, was already a successful romance novelist (as Patricia Cabot) before she began writing for young adults; her alter-alter ego, Jenny Carroll, began a new series shortly after The Princess Diaries debuted. The Carroll books are divided between the Mediator series, starring a girl who can communicate with restless ghosts; and the 1-800-WHERE-R-YOU books, in which a girl struck by lightning acquires the ability to locate missing people.

Cabot writes her books in a conspiratorial, first-person style that resonates with her readers. She has obviously kept a grip on the vernacular and the key issues of adolescence; but what makes her books so irresistible is the mixing of the mundane with the fantastic. After all, who wouldn't like to wake up and be a princess all of a sudden, or a seer? Cabot takes such offhand notions and roots them firmly in the details of average, middle-class American life. She has also tiptoed into mystery and paranormal suspense with other YA novels and series installments.

Cabot continues to write adult novels under various permutations of her given name (Meggin Patricia Cabot): from 19th-century historical romances to contemporary chick lit. And, as with her books for teens, these romances have earned praise for their lighthearted humor and well drawn characters.

Good To Know

Some interesting outtakes from our interview with Cabot:

"I am left handed."

"I hate tomatoes of any kind."

"I really wanted to be veterinarian, but I got a 410 on my math SATs."

"Writing used to be my hobby, but now that it's my job, I have no hobby -- except watching TV and laying around the pool reading US Weekly. I have tried many hobbies, such as knitting, Pilates, ballet, yoga, and guitar, but none of them have taken. So I guess I'm stuck with no hobby.

Read an Excerpt

1-800-Where-R-You #5: Missing You

Chapter One

My name is Jessica Mastriani.

You might have heard of me. It's fine with me if you haven't, though. In fact, I kind of prefer it that way.

The reason you might have heard of me is that I'm the one the press kept calling "Lightning Girl," because I got struck by lightning a few years ago and developed this so-called psychic power to find missing people in my dreams.

It was this very big deal at the time. At least in Indiana, which is where I'm from. There was even a TV show about me, based on my life. It wasn't exactly based on my life. I mean, they made a lot of stuff up. Like about me going to Quantico to train as an FBI agent. That never happened. Oh, and they killed off my dad on the show, too. In real life, he's actually alive and well.

But I didn't mind (though my dad wasn't too happy about it) because they still had to pay me. For the right to use my name and my story and all of that. It ended up being quite a lot of money, even though the show is only on cable, not even one of the main networks.

My parents take the checks I get every month and invest them for me. I haven't even had to touch the capital yet. I just spend a little bit of the interest now and then, like when I run short on cash for food or the rent or whatever. Which isn't that often lately, because I've got a summer job, and all. Not the world's greatest job or anything. But at least it's not with the FBI, like on the TV show about me.

I did work for the FBI for a while. There was this special division, headed by this guy, Cyrus Krantz. I worked for them for almost a year.

See, it wasn't supposed to go the way it did. My life, I mean. First there was the whole getting struck by lightning thing. That so wasn't in the plans. Not that anyone—anyone sane, anyway—would choose to get struck by lightning and get psychic powers, because, trust me on this, it completely sucks. I mean, I guess it's all right for the people I helped.

But it was no bed of roses for me, believe me.

Then there was the war. Like the lightning, it just came from out of nowhere. And like the lightning, it changed everything. Not just the fact that suddenly, everyone on our street back in Indiana had an American flag in their front yard, and we were all glued to CNN 24/7. For me, a lot more changed than just that. I mean, I hadn't even finished high school yet, and still, Uncle Sam was all, "I want you."

And the thing was, they needed me. Really needed me. Innocent people were dying. What was I going to do, say no?

Although the truth is, I tried to say no at first. Until my brother Douglas—the one I'd always thought would be the most against my going—was the one who went, "Jess. What are you doing? You have to go."

So I went.

At first they said I could work from home. Which was good, because I really needed to finish twelfth grade, and all.

But there were people they needed to find, fast. What was I supposed to do? It was a war.

I know to most people, the war was, like, somewhere way over there. Your average American, I bet they didn't even think about it, except, you know, when they turned on the news at night and saw people getting blown up and stuff. "This many U.S. Marines were killed today," they'd say on the news. The next day, people heard, "We found this many terrorists hiding in a cave in the hills of Afghanistan."

Well, it wasn't like that for me. I didn't get to see the war on the news. Instead, I saw it live. Because I was there. I was there because I was the one telling them which of those caves to look in for those people they needed to find so badly.

I tried to do it from home at first, and then later, from Washington.

But a lot of times, when I'd tell them where to go look, they'd go there and then they'd come back and be all, "There's no one there."

But I knew they were wrong. Because I was never wrong. Or I guess I should say my power never was.

So finally I was like, "Look, just send me there, and I'll show you."

Some of the people I found, you heard about on the news. Other people I found, they kept secret. Some of the people I found, we couldn't get to, on account of where they were hiding, deep in the mountains. Some of the people I found, they decided just to keep tabs on, and wait it out. Some of the people I found ended up dead.

But I found them. I found them all.

And then the nightmares came. And I couldn't sleep anymore.

Which meant I couldn't find anyone anymore. Because I couldn't dream.

Posttraumatic stress syndrome. Or PTSS. That's what they called it, anyway. They tried everything they could think of to help me. Drugs. Therapy. A week by a big fancy pool in Dubai. None of it worked. I still couldn't sleep.

So, in the end, they sent me home, thinking maybe I'd get better there, once everything was back to normal again.

The problem with that was, when I got home? Everything wasn't back to normal again. Everything was different.

I guess that's not fair. I guess what it was, was that I was different. Not everyone else. I mean, you see stuff like that—kids screaming at you not to take their father, things blowing up . . .

    A reviewer

    Meg Cabot was obviously in a hurry when trying to write the last book to this series. I've loved every single book expect this one, which seemed rushed and almost as if she didn't care if she wrote it or not. The series was left hanging for so long and then when we finally return to it it doesn't seem like the same story at all. Jess is suddenly all grown up which again makes it feel like i missed a secret book in the series that would fill me in on everything that happened before she graduated highschool and moved to new york. Instead were rushed through that information in the first chapter that never seems to end and is excruciatingly boring. I could go on and on about all the faults i saw in a book that i was so excited for but so incredibly let down. I would not recommend this book at all. Read the first 4 and leave it at this, it might just ruin the series for you.

    Almost, but not quite

    I thought this book was good, but it could have been much better. I was disappointed to find that she had jumped ahead several years in the story and the book seemed slightly disconnected from what had happened previously.

    Unsatisfying ending for everything but the romance

    A disclaimer: It seems to me that your opinion of this book depends on what qualities you liked in the series. If you were in love with the tension between Jess and Rob, go ahead- buy this book now.

    But if you liked the action and tone of the earlier books, not to mention Jess' personality... then, like me, you might come out of this book feeling a little cheated.

    The book does not follow up on the cliffhanger in the last one- instead, Jess is several years older and has lost her psychic powers due to PTSD, because apparently the author decided that she needed to shove in a "War Is Bad!" lesson for her audience. The story itself is mostly focused on the changes that have taken place in Jess' life and hometown after the gap, along with the eventual happy ending of her relationship with Rob- the conflict that supposedly drives the story is barely present. Throughout most of the story, I felt like I was reading a completely different series with a completely different heroine- and not in a good way. Because of the fact that there was so much time separating this book from the last one, I couldn't even convince myself that she'd matured into that very different person- she went straight from being a girl who liked motorcycles and got into trouble to a rather serious young woman who was focused on reclaiming her life.

    If you don't mind any of that, then you'll probably still like this book. My opinion isn't everybody's. But if you're used to the other books, get ready for some serious mood whiplash.

    Missing you

    This is the most amazing book. I am so happy that there was another book written for the series. The writing is written in a way that seems friendly and readable for many ages. The characters are easy to get to know and fall in love with. Rob is my hero. He is so hot and so loveable. And his motorcycle... *sigh* If only there were more guys like Rob... :)I absolutely recommend this book. At fourteen I am in love with this series... No one will ever get sick of them... that I can guarentee. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!

    I'm Happy Now!

    This book was so awesome! In the 4th book I when I thought it was going to be the end of the series I was mad because I wanted to see how Jess's parents would react to the whole Rob thing and in this book we got to hear about that. I think that this was the perfect ending for Rob and Jess. I also loved the whole Ruth/Mike thing...it was funny and cute! Rob and Jess forever!

    Amazing read!

    I am a huge fan of Meg Cabot! This book series was the first I read of her's and I instanly feel in love with the story and the characters. The story that evolves from the first book is the not the 'everyday' teen drama story. It will get you hooked on the first page and be the book you pick up to read after a bad day. I highly recommend it! Happy reading! (:

    After a very long wait, readers will be able to find closure with the last book in one of Meg Cabot's hit series, 1-800-WHERE-R-YOU. Ms. Cabot begins the novel almost two years after the last book. Jessica Mastriana is now at Julliard after the long, tedious days she spent helping the U.S. government find the bad guys during war. Although it did help her country, the things she saw as she was overseas took a toll on her. Instead of being able to dream about missing people, now Jess only dreams about the horrible scenes she saw during the war. This ultimately leads to her losing her powers.

    But now that is all behind her. It's summer and Jess is living with her best friend, Ruth, along with Michael and Skip, and is helping to teach kids how to play a musical instrument. All Jess wants to do is to forget about the past and start over.

    Unfortunately, her plans are ruined when her ex-boyfriend Rob flies all the way to New York to see her. But it's not to ask her to get back together with her--more like Rob needs Jess to help him find his sister, who just went missing. Before she knows it, all the things that Jess wanted to forget come crashing back. But with her powers supposedly gone, how can she help Rob, the one person she especially wants to forget about?

    After the long wait, we expected for this series to end with a bang, and Ms. Cabot does not disappoint. MISSING YOU is the perfect ending to the 1-800-WHERE-R-YOU series, tying up all loose ends and resolving all problems, leaving the reader with no unanswered questions. Most characters return in the story, and even a surprise romance begins. Readers will root for Jess until the very end, while falling head-over-heels for Rob all over again. The only sad part is, now the series is completely over!

    Not so exciting

    This isn't the first series i've read from Meg Cabot, and honestly, i was expecting more. in my opinion, the best book was the last one. the first ones just didn't appeal to me too much, the story idea is interesting but i can't say i loved it. It was an ok read.

    I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!

    I got this book in my school library for cause i had to get a book for english class. I read the back and was like this sounds really good. At that time i had no idea it was a series. I got to reading it and the farther i got the harder it was to put it down. I read this book in one day. I am now going to buy the series and read all of them. I can't wait to actually read them from the first one. This book has got me back into reading. I had quit reading there for a long time then now in eigth grade needing to read a book for a quiz i found me a writer who writes some amazing books. I am going to say that even though i havrnt read all of them I wasnt lost in the book this book could just be a book of its own and not a series, but im glad it isn't.

    PURE GENIOUS!

    omg! okay, so first, the title drew me to wanting to read this one REALLLLY BADDD!! ^^ I mean, I just love it! Missing you! But when I read the summery, I didn't know how good it would be she lost her powers, and she doesn't love him (so she says) but in the end, this turned out to be a marvolous book! Once again, she's written herself a book of genious! I coulnd't put the book down, and finished it in a record of 14 hours. (yeah that's right! I stayed up to read it! ^^ It was just THAT good). So if your in the mood for an adventure book series, and you loved the books before it, read this one too! it's fantastic!

    After a very long wait, readers will be able to find closure with the last book in one of Meg Cabot's hit series, 1-800-WHERE-R-YOU. Ms. Cabot begins the novel almost two years after the last book. Jessica Mastriana is now at Julliard after the long, tedious days she spent helping the U.S. government find the bad guys during war. Although it did help her country, the things she saw as she was overseas took a toll on her. Instead of being able to dream about missing people, now Jess only dreams about the horrible scenes she saw during the war. This ultimately leads to her losing her powers. -- But now that is all behind her. It's summer and Jess is living with her best friend, Ruth, along with Michael and Skip, and is helping to teach kids how to play a musical instrument. All Jess wants to do is to forget about the past and start over. -- Unfortunately, her plans are ruined when her ex-boyfriend Rob flies all the way to New York to see her. But it's not to ask her to get back together with her--more like Rob needs Jess to help him find his sister, who just went missing. Before she knows it, all the things that Jess wanted to forget come crashing back. But with her powers supposedly gone, how can she help Rob, the one person she especially wants to forget about? -- After the long wait, we expected for this series to end with a bang, and Ms. Cabot does not disappoint. MISSING YOU is the perfect ending to the 1-800-WHERE-R-YOU series, tying up all loose ends and resolving all problems, leaving the reader with no unanswered questions. Most characters return in the story, and even a surprise romance begins. Readers will root for Jess until the very end, while falling head-over-heels for Rob all over again. The only sad part is, now the series is completely over!

    It's worth wating for

    Jessica and Rob can't seem to stay away from eachother.Once your done with one book you can't wait to read the next and when you finished them all, you can't wait to read them all over again.It has all the themes from love,danger,surprise,mischivious and in the end happily ever after. Atleast untill the next book comes out anyway.Rob is the most romantic guy all you ladys want in a man and in a prince charming.so if you want to feel like your in a movie and can't seem to put the book down then this is the series you've been waiting for. So enjoy.
