Jenny Carroll is a pseudonym used by bestselling author Meg Cabot for her early young adult novels. Under this name, she wrote the first four installments of the "1-800-Where-R-You" series, including "When Lightning Strikes," "Code Name Cassandra," "Safe House," and "Sanctuary," as well as the initial four books in the "Mediator" series: "Shadowland," "Ninth Key," "Reunion," and "Darkest Hour." These eight titles were later reissued under Cabot's real name.
Known for blending supernatural elements with contemporary young adult fiction, Carroll's works feature strong female protagonists navigating extraordinary circumstances. The "1-800-Where-R-You" series follows a teenager who develops psychic abilities after being struck by lightning, while the "Mediator" books center on a girl who can communicate with ghosts. Both series showcase Carroll's signature mix of humor, romance, and paranormal intrigue.
