The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl by Stacy McAnulty

Interest Level: 3-6
Reading Level: 5.4
Lexile: 530L
Genre: Realistic Fiction



Lucy Callahan is Lightning Girl. Struck by lightning when she was 8 years old,
she acquired crazy math skills. Homeschooled for 8 years until now, 12 years old. Lucy's guardian, her Nana, has decided Lucy needs to attend middle school. This young savant suffers from an obsessive-compulsive disorder. This story makes you fall in love with Lucy. You cry when she is bullied and cheer when she makes a friend. McAnulty ends the story perfectly. On those nights when I cannot fall asleep, I will continue to write Lucy's story until I do.
