P.K. and Critter have one thing in common. Make that two things. 1. They both love rock-climbing. 2. They’re both teens on the run. It all begins when P.K. decides to jump ship before her parents can send her off to some horrible boarding school she knows she’ll hate. Enter Critter: Fellow runaway and climber … and a guy with a pretty unusual perspective on the universe. Together they take off with the plan to scale a few treacherous rock faces—and end up conquering a whole lot more. If you’re a fan of romance or rock-climbing, or you’re just a fellow traveler on the path to figuring out who you are, well, then, you’ll surely want to “Jump” on this book right away.
Genre: Fiction (YA) Jenny’s rating (out of 5 stars): 4 You’ll like this book if: You like the suspense of romance and the thrill of rock-climbing (and vice-versa). You won’t like this book if: Teen angst, mental problems, and messed-up parent/child dynamics bother you.
