Review
"Jump! is the perfect read for chilly autumn nights. Hugely entertaining, touching and funny, yet again Cooper has a winner" * Daily Express * "This is definitely the most exciting book that landed on my doormat this year. Cooper is a major genius... the narrative zips along, pierced with her characteristically brilliant ear for dialogue and empathy for human relationships of all kinds. You won't be able to put it down" -- Sara Lawrence * Daily Mail * "Near-magical ability to conjure up a world and populate it with people for whom you feel a deep affection" * Observer * "To read one of Cooper's books is to escape into an alternative universe in which all is right with the world" * Guardian * "A fast-paced and enjoyable read" * Sun *
