Jumping the Nail

by Eve Bunting

Jumping the Nail Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Barry ONeill is journeying to New York on theTitanics fateful maiden voyage. Hes homesick and worried about the Flynn boys traveling in steerage who have threatened to throw him overboard. Little does Barry know that a struggle with the Flynns is the least of the dangers that await him. This suspenseful young adult adventure story is based on the true and terrible events that occured as the Titanic sank. “A dread sense of the inevitable drives this taut disaster story-and makes it nearly impossible to put down.”--Publishers Weekly

Synopsis:

Twelve-year-old Andy feels he would be better off with his father in England than in his San Francisco home with his mother and her new husband. To raise the money needed to finance his trip to England, he stages his own kidnapping, but the plan backfires when someone decides to make the kidnapping a reality. “A common family situation becomes action-filled drama in Buntings capable hands.”--Booklist

Synopsis:

The jumping place is called the Nail--it's 90 feet from the top of the cliff to the water below. No one in La Paloma has dared jump since that terrible accident 10 years ago--until Scooter tells everyone he will jump. Dru and Mike try desperately to stop the dangerous activities before they lead to another tragedy. ALA Recommended Book for the Reluctant Young Reader.
