Steven Gould's SF classic, "Jumper."
Davy can teleport. He first discovers his talent during a savage
beating delivered by his abusive father, when Davy jumps
instantaneously to the safest place he knows, his small-town public
library. As his mother did so many years before, Davy vows never to
go home again. Instead, he sets off, young and inexperienced, for
New York City.
Davy gradually learns to use and control his powers, first for
sheer survival in an environment more violent and complex than he
ever imagined. But mere survival is not enough for Davy. He wants
to know if his mother disappeared so completely from his life
because she, too, could Jump. And as he searches for a trace of
anyone else with powers like his own, he learns to use his
abilities for more than escape and theft.
A young man with nothing to lose, and the ability to go anyplace he
wants, can help a lot of people. But he can also make a lot of
trouble, and sooner or later trouble is going to come looking for
him. The one way Davy can think of to locate others who can Jump is
to make himself visible to them, but if he does, the police will
surely find him too.
