Shocking! Stunning! Totally Electrifying!Stephen Ray Fischer—otherwise known as Sting—has a very annoying little "thing" about him. He can’t seem to touch anyone without shocking them literally. Even with rubber-soled shoes and standing on plain dirt or cement, everybody gets zapped.It’s not serious, of course. Kids do it all the time. But not ALL the time.Now, as a junior in his small-town high school, Sting’s schoolmates have long since learned to keep a wide berth, and as a result, true friends are hard to come by. The taunting and teasing are relentless—especially when Sting’s little "stings" start getting a little out of hand.After a curious incident with a high voltage power line, Sting finds he’s suddenly becoming more and more electrically charged. Lights turn off and on, clocks spin like wall fans, radios and TVs change channels. Something very weird is happening, and Sting has no idea what it is or what to do about it. He’s becoming dangerous to be around. There’s even talk of having him put away.Only one girl—a newcomer named Connie Phillips—has compassion for the walking, human lightening bolt. And her father—a retired scientist with a very mysterious past—takes the supercharged Sting under his wing and into his confidence as he works secretly on his "project" in the garage.Then life gets complicated.Sting’s jolted and electrocuted peers decide to teach him a lesson he’ll never forget. Some unnamed government agencies from the big city want Sting locked up for scientific study. Church members want him "Ex"ed. And a smooth talking businessman—with bodyguards—wants to "employ" Sting for reasons he can’t even begin to imagine.And as if that weren’t enough, Mr. Phillips’ project—a top secret, uniquely modified, VERY supercharged Corvette Stingray—has suddenly disappeared. Vanished!And all fingers point to Sting Ray Fischer.

Never do a favor for a friend. Twelve-year-old March McQuin forgot rule number one for cat burglars, which is how he and his twin sister, Jules, found themselves dangling upside down twenty feet above a stone floor at three in the morning. Their target was a set of stunning diamonds and it should have been an easy job, in and out. Except another thief got there first. March and Jules were lucky to escape with their lives, and one measly stone. Now the botched heist has created a world of trouble. The stone they grabbed was the Morning Star, one of a trio of famous sapphires, and it's cursed. The theft put the twins and their friends in the crosshairs of Interpol, the FBI, and a vicious adult gang of international criminals. And worst of all, the only way to break the curse and set everything to rights is by somehow managing to steal the other two sapphires in the set. Break out the black gloves. Lay out the masks. There's a full moon coming, and jewels to steal...
