He’s a bit selfish and makes some impulsive mistakes, but he genuinely wants to be a good guy. He’s a little too urbane for his age and experience - he quickly transforms from high school dropout to fine-dining connoisseur, and I’ve never met a teenager as well-read as Davy - but other than that he acts like a normal kid. Jumper, by Steven Gould, is an action-packed exciting adventure about a likeable teenager who has an awesome superpower. At first Davy lives for himself, happy to be away from school and his father, but when a terrorist attack affects him personally, he decides to use his talent to get revenge. His new skill, the ability to instantly transport himself to any place he’s ever visited, helped him achieve the freedom he always desired. Soon Davy learned that he could control his teleportation, so he left home and started a new life in New York City. Both times Davy ended up in his favorite place - the local public library. The second time was when a trucker tried to rape him. The first time Davy jumped was when his dad was beating him.
