On one side, it's an adventure with James and Paul as he avoids/fights the school bully. But on the other, it's a story in the past, of James's abuela, a healer who died recently. Then in the middle, it gets even more interesting as the two mix.

A good book but WAY too sad.

This book is very good for people who have gone through loss or change.

When Lightning Struck wasn't the mystery I expected, but was still good book of a christain boy learning about the Jewish religon.

The world needs a book like this right now...no spoilers!
