Davy, afraid that his dad will find him, flees to New York, where he robs a bank-by teleporting inside the vault-and lives the life of a reclusive millionaire. Davy Rice, 17, lives with his drunken, brutal father in Stanville, Ohio, enduring physical and mental abuse (his mother had vanished five years ago) until, one day, rather than endure another vicious beating, he finds that he's teleported himself-''jumped''-into the local library! From this starting point, Gould works up a fine set of complications with which to test his characters. Sprightly first novel combining revenge, growing up, lonely- superman and abuse-of-power motifs centered on a classic science- fiction theme: teleportation. ![]()
