High school junior Brinkley Harper is beautiful, wealthy, admired, and powerful--until the day she wakes up in the body of a classmate she wouldn’t be caught dead hanging out with.
Goth girl Miranda is everything Brinkley isn’t: she won't leave the house in anything but black, her family life is in tatters, she’s practically invisible at school, and she’s hiding a dark secret. As Brinkley experiences Miranda’s life from the inside out, she’s forced to consider the world from a very different point-of-view. But this won’t be Brinkley's last “jump,” and each time she lives a day in another classmate’s body, Brinkley not only begins to feel empathy for others, she also begins to glimpse the fears, vulnerabilities, and disappointments behind her own perfect fa?ade. By experiencing the world as somebody else, Brinkley may finally learn to understand herself.
A contemporary fantasy featuring a gutsy heroine and fast-paced action, Jump explores the transformation of a girl who never knew she needed one.
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Gr 8-11–Moneyed, beautiful, and shallow Brinkley Harper reigns as the queen of Story High School. She is alternately dismissive and cruel as she navigates the daily social scene. Having caused the exit of four students due to her bullying, she must now meet regularly with a therapist or risk expulsion. In a twist on the Freaky Friday theme of switched identities, Brinkley inhabits the bodies of her victims, which allows her to develop empathy, a trait that her therapist deems missing after diagnosing her as a narcissist. The cast of characters is painfully stereotypical; the overweight girl, the goth girl, the science nerd, the catty BFF, and the dumb gorgeous boyfriend. Brinkley's acceptance of former nonentities is, unfortunately, still tied to her skewed sense of worth. The overweight girl is not totally lost because she has a keen fashion sense! The science nerd has hot abs! Miranda, the goth girl, comes closest to being a fully realized character. Ongoing therapy reveals to Brinkley that her hateful behavior stems from trust issues caused by her negligent, absentee parents. It's probably wishful thinking that a few hours spent in someone else's skin could heal such a deep wound, but Rue has Brinkley handing off her crown to her old BFF and happily signing up for membership in the “loser's club.” The territory covered in Jump is too familiar to be truly compelling and the suspension of disbelief required doesn't quite jibe with the seriousness of the protagonist's emotional pain.Karen Elliott, Grafton High School, WI

From Booklist
High-school mean girl Brinkley is beautiful, wealthy—and required to attend therapy because of her bullying. Brinkley does not understand what the problem is until she wakes up in the body of Miranda, someone on the opposite end of the social spectrum. Brinkley’s “jump” into Miranda’s body and life is not an isolated one. Over the course of several weeks, Brinkley is transported into the bodies of other “losers” to see what it is like to walk in their shoes. Unable to understand what is happening, Brinkley is forced to befriend Miranda. What develops between the two girls is an actual friendship that allows Brinkley to eventually see the error of her ways. There is nothing new about this story, the ending is largely predictable, and it takes several chapters to warm up to Brinkley and her entitled attitude. However, the writing is humorous and engaging, and captures the high-school scene. Readers will want to keep reading to be assured that Brinkley does come around in the end. Grades 7-10. --Shauna Yusko
Review
Review, Booklist, September 1, 2010:
"...humorous and engaging..."
Review, Kirkus Reviews, August 15, 2010:
"Brinkley’s journey of personal transformation will linger with readers endeavoring to define themselves."
Review, Parkersburg News & Sentinel, October 25, 2010:
"Part "Quantum Leap" and part "Mean Girls" this is a book to get teen girls thinking about cliques."
