Has Anyone Seen Jessica Jenkins?

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 marshals them into a slapdash band of slightly superheroes.

Get students excited about reading with this inspiring story of what it means to be a kid.
