The top five ways not to start your first day of high school are: 1) tell the hottest guy in class that he reminds you of an elf; 2) get enormongo cramps; 3) annoy one of the Populars; 4) make even the geeks pity you; and 5) finally get the super powerrs you thought you'd never have and explode all the windows in English class. Jessie was so not wearing tights and a cape. This was a very good and entertaining coming-of-age comedy about a teenage superhero . . . well sort of. It combines regular high school problems - relationships, rude students etc - with super powers and the twist is that it's the female who has them as opposed to the male. The book is worth at least one read.
