Summary
Summary
In this 2009 National Book Award finalist, Rita Williams-Garcia proves that she has an "uncanny ability to project unique voices" (Publishers Weekly). Jumped is told in alternating points of view between three girls as they struggle to make tough choices when they become involved in a fight at their urban high school. "So well observed that the characters seem to leap off the page ."-Publishers WeeklyAuthor
