Sky Jumpers: Book 1

Escape one danger. Jump into another. . . .
Â
â€œEddleman brings a strong sense of atmosphere to this post-apocalyptic coming-of-age piece, and the underlying messageâ€”that itâ€™s possible to contribute in unexpected waysâ€”is a positive one.â€ â€”Publishers Weekly
Â
Twelve-year-old Hope lives in White Rock, a town of inventors struggling to recover from the green bombs of World War III. But Hope is terrible at inventing and would much rather sneak off to cliff dive into the Bombâ€™s Breathâ€”the deadly band of compressed air that covers the crater left by the bombsâ€”than fail at yet another invention. When bandits discover that White Rock has priceless antibiotics, they invade. With a two-day deadline to finish making this yearâ€™s batch and no ingredients to make more, the town is left to choose whether to hand over the medicine and die from the disease thatâ€™s run rampant since the bombs, or die fighting the bandits now. Help lies in a neighboring town, but the bandits count everyone fourteen and older each hour. Hope and her friends Aaren and Brock might be the only ones who can escape to make the dangerous trek through the Bombâ€™s Breath and over the snow-covered mountain. For once, inventing isnâ€™t the answer, but the daring and recklessness that usually get Hope into trouble might just save them all.
