HELP!
BEING HELD PRISONER BY TELEPORTING ALIENS!
KEPT FROM NORMAL LIFE.
SEND FRIENDS.
ALSO ICE CREAM.
Cent’s not your everyday average teenage girl. For one thing, she doesn’t officially exist. She’s lived her entire life in isolation, raised by her parents in the middle of nowhere. But she’s received the best education the world can offer her, for her parents—Davy and Millie Rice—are teleporters, able to travel vast distances in the blink of an eye. Some…unfortunate incidents involving the government and other conspiracies many years ago caused Davy and Millie to withdraw from society and lead a life of paranoid secrecy. As a result, their daughter has had a decidedly nonstandard upbringing. She’s extremely smart, self-assured, sarcastic, quick-witted, resourceful, and well-read, but when it comes to dealing with her own kind (teenagers) she’s about as socialized as a Pekingese running feral in the big city. She’d love to have a normal life, but as long as people are looking to capture and exploit the so-called “jumpers,” she and her family must stay off the grid.
And then, one day, Cent discovers that she too is a jumper.
And all bets are off.
