Jumper: Griffin's Story
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read, Open EPUB eBook)
An original novel from Steven Gould, creator of the Jumper series, that tells the back story of Griffin O'Connor, a character created for the film of Jumper.
What if you could jump? Go anywhere in the world in the blink of an eye? What would you do? Where would you go? What if you were only five years old?
Griffin has a secret. It's a secret that he's sworn to his parents to keep, and never tell. Griffin is a Jumper: a person who can teleport to any place he has ever been. The first time was when he was five, and his parents crossed an ocean to protect the secret. The most important time was when he was nine. That was the day that the men came to his house and murdered his parents. Griffin knows that the men were looking for him, and he must never let them find him.
Griffin grows up with only two goals: to survive, and to kill the people who want him dead. And a Jumper bent on revenge is not going to let anything stand in his way.
Jumper is a major motion picture from 20th Century Fox/New Regency Productions, starring Hayden Christensen, Samuel L. Jackson, Diane Lane, and Jamie Bell.

"The theme of Steven Gould's Jumper is, quite literally, escape. The first half of Jumper has a charm and bounce that carry the reader past the implausibilities inherent in the premise--imagine a Holden Caulfield with the power of life or death over the jerks and phonies."
- premium: False
- source: Orson Scott Card
- content: "Gould proves once again that in the hands of a wonderful, perceptive writer, there is no such thing as an old idea. What sets Jumper apart from other novels that dip back into the well of the masters is that Gould brings his own keen empathy and rigorous intelligence to the story.....This is a book that you won't want to miss. It reminded me of why I first came to love science fiction, and yet I didn't have to be twelve again to have a great time reading it."

Gr 9 Up-Griffin O'Conner can jump (self-teleport) anywhere he has visited. At first, his gift seems like a blessing but it soon proves to be a curse. A secret agency whose mission is to kill "jumpers" is tracking him. His parents are murdered when he is nine years old, and he is forced to leave his San Diego home and live on the run. He becomes a danger to everyone he has contact with: as he jumps around the world, the killers show up, often striking those closest to him. As Griffin moves into his teens, he finds some comfort in a family who takes him in, and in his relationship with a girlfriend with whom he shares his secret (as well as his bed). He plans to avenge his parents and those who died befriending him. A fast-paced adventure sure to capture readers' interest, this book was written as a companion to the new film "Jumper". The movie is based on two of the author's novels, "Jumper" (1992) and "Reflex" (2004, both Tor), but, as the introduction explains, this book differs significantly from those titles."June H.

Griffin's ability to teleport makes him the target of a secret cabal set on destroying those like him. After witnessing his parents' death at age nine, Griffin flees underground--literally--and spends the next seven years traveling and learning (mostly by trial and error) to survive and protect those around him in this gripping, often bloody sci-fi thriller.(Copyright 2008 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston.
