Description
A dare gone terribly wrong.
An SOS from another universe.
A threat from right next door.
Thirteen-year-old twin brothers Jayce and Val are about to jump the multi-verses on a dangerous dare, but true danger is closer to home than they realize. The Jupiter Prime colony has been orbiting the stormy gas giant for nineteen years and all anyone wants is to get back to Earth. In a society where technical expertise is valued above all else, Jayce and Val are among the most privileged—until they uncover their uncle’s plot
to claim dominion over space and time. While attempting to rescue a lone girl from a post-apocalyptic earth, Val will come face to face with
space pirates and Jayce will lay his life on the line for the sake of
his brother and the little girl who holds the key to time itself.

Advance Praise
“Reading this book brings me back to the wonder I felt as a kid when I consumed
the Hardy Boys series as quickly as I could get them. But Jump Boys is
better because it is a well crafted, well written, fast-paced Sci Fi!” ~
Amazon reviewer
“As the mother of an 11 year old boy and working in a K-6 Library, I am
caught in the eternal struggle to find stories that will capture the
imagination of 8-12 year old boys. I believe that this book with its
fantastic mix of tech, space travel and adventure will be one that will
fit the bill, and will be pleased to recommend it to “my boys”. In
saying that I know that I have quite a few girls who will also be easily
drawn into this book!” ~ Goodreads reviewer
“This was a thoroughly enjoyable little book. A quick read, but a lot of fun.
I especially loved the author's ability to put me into this future
world through the use of slang she developed and interesting technology.
If I had to pick out one complaint, it was that it was too short. I
wasn't ready for it to be over when it was. So here's hoping she's got
more adventures in store for the Jump Boys. Because that would be
totally molten!” ~ Amazon reviewer
