This is about a 12-year-old who became a maths genius after she was struck by lightning. She also developed OCD. Her grandmother, who is her carer, had home-schooled her since. But now that she is 12, she had to go to middle school and make friends of her age. Up to this point, her friends were online math geniuses. Her new math teacher spotted the fact that Lightning Girl was not showing her full potential. Teachers like Mr Stoker are a gift to all parents. The writing is quick paced, rhythmic and page-turning. The characters are compelling. A really good read.
