Has Anyone Seen Jessica Jenkins?
by Liz Kessler
Jessica Jenkins has always been a perfectly ordinary girl—until one day part of her arm vanishes in the middle of geography class! When it becomes apparent that there may be other kids developing strange powers of their own, Jessica gathers them into a slapdash band of “slightly superheroes.” Then, when an unscrupulous adult discovers the origin of their powers and kidnaps one of the team, the rest must put their heads—and all of their skills—together to avert disaster.
