Summary
What happens when you can’t do the one thing that
matters most?
12-year-old Hope lives in White Rock, a town
struggling to recover from the green bombs of World War III. The bombs
destroyed almost everything that came before, so the skill that matters most in
White Rock—sometimes it feels like the only thing that matters—is the ability
to invent so that the world can regain some of what it’s lost. Read More
My Thoughts
Sky Jumpers by Peggy Eddleman is a post-apocalyptic debut novel that’s full of awesomeness, action, and adventure and is sure to captivate readers.
Since I was unfamiliar with this author’s work, I
was unsure of what to expect from Sky Jumpers. The synopsis piqued my interest.
The first thing that caught my attention was the 12 year old female
protagonist, trying to find her place in a post-apocalyptic society in which
inventing is the most important skill; yet, it’s the very thing that Hope is
bad at.
Sky Jumpers is a new family favorite. After I read
the first few pages, I was so excited about the storyline that I had to share
it with my middle grade (MG) reader. My MG reader enjoyed the book and
indicated that, “The book had perfect pacing and kept me interested.” From my
point of view, Sky Jumpers is a must read. It will keep you on the edge of your
seat as Hope and her friends race against time and set out on a dangerous
journey in an effort to save the townspeople. We are definitely looking forward
to the second book in the series.
I received an E-ARC of Sky Jumpers from the Publisher/NetGalley in exchange for an honest review, Thank you.
