Although she doesn’t remember it, Lucy Callahan was struck by lightning, which gave her genius

technically ready for college, but her grandmother gives her one more test to pass: middle school.

problem is unsolvable, and if you have a few friends who accept you for who you are, you’re pretty
lucky
