Gr 9 Up-Griffin O'Conner can jump (self-teleport) anywhere he has visited. At first, his gift seems like a blessing but it soon proves to be a curse. A secret agency whose mission is to kill "jumpers" is tracking him. His parents are murdered when he is nine years old, and he is forced to leave his San Diego home and live on the run. He becomes a danger to everyone he has contact with: as he jumps around the world, the killers show up, often striking those closest to him. As Griffin moves into his teens, he finds some comfort in a family who takes him in, and in his relationship with a girlfriend with whom he shares his secret (as well as his bed). He plans to avenge his parents and those who died befriending him. A fast-paced adventure sure to capture readers' interest, this book was written as a companion to the new film "Jumper". The movie is based on two of the author's novels, "Jumper" (1992) and "Reflex" (2004, both Tor), but, as the introduction explains, this book differs significantly from those titles."June H.
