3.5 STARS

Jessica Mastriani has two choices: spend her summer working the steam table at one of her family's restaurants or work as a Counselor at an Orchestra Camp for gifted children. Jess chooses the camp. But her fantasy of girly gossip and French braiding sessions is shattered when she is reassigned to a cabin full of rowdy boys--one of whom is the camp bully. And, as icing to the cake, an anxious father appears at her camp desperate for Jess to use her 'gift' to locate his kidnapped five-year-old daughter, Keely. If that wasn't enough to spoil Jess's summer, one of her campers goes missing and she may've broken off more than she could chew when one of Keely's abductors decides he wants revenge.

CODENAME CASSANDRA was an enjoyable book and another quick, fun read. However, I had two issues with the story (and series in general so far). First issue: all authority figures are portrayed as incompetent, bumbling fools; especially the pair of FBI agents assigned to follow Jess. If this is supposed to be a running joke, it's a tired, stereotypical one. Second issue: Jess's black-and-white view that all missing children either want to be found or they don't--no room for middle ground. This is a knee-jerk reaction to the fact a young boy she found with her powers was actually in hiding from an abusive parent. Now Jess seems to be operating under the assumption that all custodial parents are scumbags with power and money and judge in their pocket until proven otherwise. She won't locate a missing child unless she knows for certain that child *wants* to be found. However, she isn't taking into account instances of children being abducted in infancy who may have little or no memory of their real parents. Should Jess refuse to find that child because they cling to their kidnappers who are the only parents they've known? What about children who have been manipulated or brainwashed into believing they were abducted for their 'own good'. Or children who have been threatened with bodily harm (or harm to their families) if they reveal their true identity? I hope this black-and-white view is challenged somewhere later in the series.

A note about the Kindle edition: there are far, far fewer conversion errors than in the first book of the series. The errors that are there could've been caught and corrected if the publishers would just send backlist conversions to a proofreader.

Love it.
Book was in perfect condition
Great paperback for girls!
love it
Amazing books. Love the series
"Jenny Carroll" aka Meg Cabot does it again. Seriously, I feel like all of her books are pages turners. Jess is so much fun to read along with that you just keep wanting to know more about the story. I personally love her obsession with Rob Wilkins. This was a series that I read back in Jr. High. I'm older now and still enjoy it! I definitely recommend this book!

Jess gets a job as a camp counselor! That alone is worth reading D

When a desperate father shows up at camp asking Jess to find his little girl, Jess has no idea how much trouble she can get in. Rob's there to help (though you never see enough of him dreamy sigh) and with one more success mission, Jess things that the worst that can happen now is that she get's fired for sneaking out during her work ours.

She got another thing comin'.
