Publisher Description
In this thrilling sci-fi adventure, epic danger and impossible odds are no match for one girl's courage!
Twelve-year-old Hope lives in White Rock, a town of inventors struggling to recover from World War III. But adventurous Hope is terrible at inventing. She would much rather sneak off to cliff dive into the Bomb’s Breath, the deadly band of air that surrounds the town.
When bandits invade White Rock to steal its greatest invention—priceless antibiotics—the town is left with a heartbreaking choice: hand over the medicine and die from disease, or die fighting the bandits. Help lies in a neighboring town, but the bandits count everyone fourteen and older each hour. Now Hope and her friends Aaren and Brock are the only ones who can escape through the Bomb’s Breath.
For once, the daring and rebelliousness that usually get Hope into trouble might just save them all.

“Eddleman brings a strong sense of atmosphere to this post-apocalyptic coming-of-age piece, and the underlying message—that it’s possible to contribute in unexpected ways—is a positive one.” —Publishers Weekly

Sky Jumpers is a great book that never slows down. The story is set in a town that is in the crater of a green nuke. A green bomb is an eco friendly bomb that has some side effects.
The first side effect is Shadle's sicknesses this is a skin disease that causes high fever and a rash, and if left untreated it will kill you. Secondly the green created a mold that if processed into a concentrated tablet is a cure to Shadle's sickness. The final side effect of the green bombs is the bombs breath. The bombs breath is a layer of air at a high elevation that is much denser than air and very lethal. One breath of the bomb's breath will kill you. Since the bomb's breath is denser than air Hope and her friends like to go cliff jumping in the bobs breath since it slows your fall significantly. Because of the lethality of the bomb's breath this is outlawed by the town making this an exhilarating novel.Al, in all I think that this is a great book that deserves 5 stars.
