Written in the 1990s by American author Steven Gould, Jumpertells
the story of Davy Rice as he escapes his tortured childhood to
explore the world via teleportation and find his long lost mother.
At seventeen the world is at your feet... especially if you can
teleport. David Rice barely remembers his mother. She left his
alcoholic father when Davy was very young. She left Davy too, and
since then all of William Rice's abusive anger has been focused on
his young teenage son. One evening, as he is about to receive
another brutal beating, Davy shuts his eyes and wishes to be safe.
When he opens them again, he finds himself in his small town's
library. Slowly, he realises he is very special, he can teleport.
Armed with his new power, Davy sets out with new purpose: he will
leave his abusive home and find his long lost mother. Davy's
confidence grows as his skills do, but they also draw unwanted
attention and soon Davy finds that he too is hunted.
