Electrigirl by Jo Cotterill
I used to be plain old ordinary Holly . . . but now I've become EXTRAordinary Holly! Being struck by lightning and getting an amazing superpower wasn't how Holly thought that her day would go. But now it's happened, she might as well make the most of it . . . if only she could work out how to stop blowing everything up!
