This novel for older readers is a sequel to 'Safe at Home' and continues the story of Elijah 'Jumper' Breeze who is facing the pressures of a new school after his move from the suburbs to the big city and the death of his father. Eleven year old 'Jumper' as he prefers to be known, is keen to consolidate the friendships he has made, and is soon involved in schemes to renovate the school gym, and the challenge of winning a place on the student council. This is a sympathetic account of the workings of friendship and rivalries within a peer group, with lots of realistic dialogue and likeable characters - with particular appeal to boys.
