JUMPP.K. wants out. Out of town before her parents can ship her off to boarding school, and out West where she can rock climb to her heart's content.
Critter wants out, too. And he's ready to climb anywhere with a girl as cute as P.K. Trouble is, he doesn't know her ...yet. JumpISBN 978-0-670-01185-8 Review excerpts “Equal parts entertaining and provocative. An incisive reflection on endurance, independence, belonging, self-knowledge, and love.” “This romantic adventure will please fans of both Anthony Horowitz and Meg Cabot. The climbing sequences are action-packed and intense. The short chapters, unusual topic and alternating first-person voices make this an exceptional choice for reluctant readers.” “Elisa Carbone has crafted a high-interest teen adventure . . . Between the action and the danger, the hotness factor, the provocative issues, and the stellar writing throughout, JUMP is the sort of YA novel one should easily be able to sell teens on reading.”
