Sky Jumpers
by Peggy Eddleman
This book has an interesting premise--a "bomb's breath" left behind after WWIII--a poisonous cloud that hovers over some towns that has killed many people. But a few kids learn that this strange air is fun to jump into because it slows their fall, allowing them to feel weightless. As long as they hold their breath while they are in it, they are safe. The adults are terrified of the bomb's breath and are unwilling to believe that it has any positive purpose. Luckily, the heroine of the story, aptly named Hope, disagrees. She and a few friends use the bomb's breath to save their community.
My 10-year-old daughter and I read this together and enjoyed this interesting twist on the post-apocalyptic world. Hooray for another brave girl character!
