The sequel, Reflex, published in 2004, has David kidnapped and subsequently tortured and his wife Millie develops the ability to "jump". I appreciate its depth and complexities and especially love that even though it is about a young man who can teleport, it isn't a book about teleportation. Unlike the travesty of a film that was made, Jumper really caught my imagination as a teenager. Written in 1992, Jumper was the first book in what has now become a trilogy, although the first book could definitely be considered a stand-alone novel. Meanwhile, Cent's parents must track down an old enemy who is bent on controlling all jumpers. Soon though, Cent is the focus of the school bully and a simple schoolyard disagreement becomes a whole lot more than she bargained for. For the first time, the willful and too much like her parents Cent, will be with kids her own age. And what does she do with such an ability? Cent wants to go to school. Cent was not born with this ability, but when she is caught in an avalanche, she finds that a life threatening situation is just the jump start she needed to develop of new ability. Millie and David both have the ability to teleport, or "jump", and it is with this ability that they aid in relief work, go shopping in Paris, visit Australia in the middle of the night, get ice cream in New York City, and they can do so in the blink of an eye.
Cent has grown up in a cabin in the Yukon, the nearest town being over 100 miles away. Not surprising seeing as her parents are both on the run from both the government and terrorists for her entire sixteen years of life.
