The 1-800-Where-R-You series by Meg Cabot is a fast-paced blend of young adult drama and supernatural thriller. The story begins when high school sophomore Jess Mastriani is struck by lightning and wakes up with an extraordinary—and unwanted—power: she can see the location of any missing person by simply looking at their photograph.
What follows is a high-stakes adventure as Jess tries to navigate the pressures of being a teenager while being hounded by the FBI and individuals who don’t want certain people to be found. Cabot brings her signature wit and relatable voice to a story that is as much about Jess finding her own place in the world as it is about the mysteries she solves. For fans of YA thrillers with a paranormal twist, this series (also known as the Vanished series) is a compelling and addictive read.
