Synopsis
The sequel to Safe at Home and a high-interest sports novel from the author of Promises to Keep: How Jackie Robinson Changed America.
In this lively sequel to Safe At Home, Elijah "Jumper" Breeze is settling into his new home in Harlem-though it hasn't been easy since his father died and his mother moved them from the suburbs.
Still, he made friends at summer camp and he's eager to see them at his new middle school. Jumper is looking forward to hitting the books and hitting the court for some serious b-ball. Then his best friend, Kelvin, talks him into running for student council and suddenly life gets a lot more complicated!

From Booklist
Suburban Connecticut transplant Elijah Jumper Breeze (Safe at Home, 2006) returns here in a story featuring a sport more to his liking than baseball—basketball. Friend Nia and her brother Marcus, Jumper's nemesis from summer camp, are on hand again, as Jumper begins sixth grade in his new Harlem school. This time, however, it's Nia who gets in Jumper's face. Nia's all-girls basketball team beats Jumper's boys team in an embarrassing exhibition match, and she decides to oppose Jumper in a bid for class student-council rep. The question then becomes, Can Jumper and Nia be both friends and competitors? The dialogue feels a little strained ("It's slammin'," "Word!"), and the basketball scenes are perhaps too few for real sport fans. While serious issues broached in the earlier book (Marcus' anger and Jumper's grieving for his father) are given renewed attention, this is really an amiable story about friends who stay that way, a theme that translates well in any community. Zvirin, Stephanie
