Publisher's Synopsis
The third book in a laugh-out-loud, high-voltage, action-packed adventure series for 8+ readers from hugely popular TV personality, Alesha Dixon, written in collaboration with Katy Birchall.
Aurora Beam is a SUPER ANNOYED SUPERHERO.
She's desperate to help her mum and grandma track down the stolen precious stone that holds the key to her family's powers, but they're insisting she sit this one out.
There's a DANGEROUS SUPERVILLAIN on the loose and not even Lightning Girl and the Bright Sparks may be a match for him or her.
Worried that whoever has the stone will destroy it and flick the switch off on her powers for ever, Aurora refuses to hide at home and stay safe.
What can she discover about master-of-disguise the Blackout Burglar?
And about his boss, the secret supervillain with a deep-seated desire for revenge…

Alesha Dixon says:
My inspiration to create a superhero called Lightning Girl began with wanting my young daughter to feel empowered.
It's been a dream to create a strong role model that any child can look up to - I want my readers to see themselves in Aurora, who is dealing with trouble at home and trouble at school alongside her new powers.
I also have a love of precious stones and their healing properties; I have always been fascinated with their spectacular colours and the positive energy that they bring.
As human beings we are always searching for something greater within ourselves and a deeper meaning to life and it's my belief that we all have a light within us that can affect change and bring good to the world… we just have to harness it! :) Enter Aurora Beam!
