Jump Boys: SOS by Alex Banks

I'm excited to introduce you to my friend's new book for Middle Grade readers, Jump Boys: SOS by Alex Banks. It's great to see fellow writers stepping out into one of my favorite genres (obviously one of my favorites.) I'm excited for her, and I hope her book sells millions.

My Review of Jump Boys: SOS

This was a thoroughly enjoyable little book. A quick read, but a lot of fun. I especially loved the author's ability to put me into this future world through the use of slang she developed and interesting technology. If I had to pick out one complaint, it was that it was too short. I wasn't ready for it to be over when it was. So here's hoping she's got more adventures in store for the Jump Boys. Because that would be totally molten!

Jump Boys: SOS
by Alex Banks
MG Science Fiction

A dare gone terribly wrong.
An SOS from another universe.
A threat from right next door.

Thirteen-year-old twin brothers Jayce and Val are about to jump the multi-verses on a dangerous dare, but true danger is closer to home than they realize.

The Jupiter Prime colony has been orbiting the stormy gas giant for nineteen years and all anyone wants is to get back to Earth. Sent to preserve the best and brightest of the population, a grievous error in the Prime’s navigation coordinates sent the colony to an alternate dimension with no way to return to the Earth they call home.

In a society where technical expertise is valued above all else, Jayce and Val are among the most privileged—until they uncover their uncle’s plot to claim dominion over space and time. While attempting to rescue a lone girl from a post-apocalyptic earth, Val will come face to face with space pirates and Jayce will lay his life on the line for the sake of his brother and the little girl who holds the key to time itself.

Pick up a copy for yourself right now!

This review rocked. Just enough that I'm excited about buying it for my son. I tweeted it, BTW.

Here there be dragons!

Excellent Ronald. You'll have to let me know what your son thinks (or better yet have him review it on Amazon!)
