The jump across the multiverses was supposed to be easy. But when a miscalculation sends thirteen-year-old twins Jayce and Val Jump into another dimension, their reality splinters.
They discover a girl who holds the key to time itself and the boys make a promise to her dying father to protect her and the secret.
But mechanical malfunctions plague their small ship, terrifying space pirates chase them across time and space, and betrayal waits for them at home. If they ever make it home.

"This was an exciting book! The dystopian world the Jump boys live in is cool. I like how they live near Jupiter. The space ships, robots, and technology is really cool too. The idea of using holograms to communicate is neat and described well in the story. Jayce is smart and calm. I love that in a main character. Val was the natural daredevil, but has brains. I really like the combo of the two characters. I enjoyed reading this book. The writing style was awesome (Jayce has a great 1st person POV) and I love the idea of the different dimensions and versions of Earth. I can't wait for a sequel to come out!" ~ This Kid Reviews Books
"As a parent I love the values in this book. It combines respect for grown-ups and also a good mixture of independent problem solving even in life and death situations. I'm excited for my boys to read this book. I hope this book signals the return of Sci Fi." ~ David C., Reviewer

Jump Boys SOS edition by Ali Banks Cross Children eBooks
Jump Boys is the first middle grade novel by young adult/new adult novelist, Ali Cross, aka, Alex Banks. I have to say, this is one of the most well-written indie books I've read. It holds its own against anything the big six put out.Within, two brothers, Jayce and Valen Jump, are challenged by their horrible cousin to make a jump through space--a dangerous and illegal move for kids. You see, the earth was destroyed a generation ago, and those who escaped now live on a ship just off Jupiter. Upon leaving, the refugees jumped too far and lost their way in the multi-verse (multi-dimensional universe). They're unable to return to earth. All efforts to figure the way back have failed. But when Jayce and Val take up the challenge, an error in their configuration lands them back on earth! It's a horrible version of the planet they've heard about, and it's inhabited by space pirates. When they intercept an SOS signal, they attempt a rescue, but their ship was damaged in the jump. Will they be able to return? And if they do, what consequences await them at home?
Alex has a real knack for smooth, readable prose and for getting this set of brothers into some real predicaments. The first quarter or so of the book leads up to the dare. It takes a while to develop, but it's full of suspense. And then things really get rocking. I especially like the slang Alex creates ("molten," "galaxy head"). It's original and in keeping with the setting. And it also keeps the language in this one entirely appropriate for young readers.
Jump Boys does remind me tremendously of the Noah Zarc series. They have so much in common, they could almost overlap! But since I liked Noah as well as I liked Jump Boys, that's fine with me.
If you like adventure, and you like outer space, try Jump Boys!

Jump Boys SOS edition by Ali Banks Cross Children eBooks Reviews
This Book Is A Short Story. but It Is interestIng AnD A Real Page Turner. Great Work Look Forward To More Of The Jump Boys.
Reading this book brings me back to the wonder I felt as a kid when I consumed the Hardy Boys series as quickly as I could get them. But Jump Boys is better because it is a well crafted, well written, fast-paced Sci Fi!
Jump Boys is mystery mixed with a swashbuckling adventure through space with all the fun and realism that's been so lacking in Sci Fi of late. The boys are strong, believable, and grow through their adventures - fighting evil, both far away, and close to home, and face ordinary life problems common to all kids. The twin brother's world set on a giant space colony comes to life for the reader and is huge enough and vibrant enough to support unlimited adventures.
As a parent I love the values in this book. It combines respect for grown-ups and also a good mixture of independent problem solving even in life and death situations. I'm excited for my boys to read this book. I hope this book signals the return of Sci Fi.
More please!!!
My kids loved this book. We listened to it and when I had to run errands, they wanted to stay home and listen to it on our Alexa.
So much fun and adventure and intrigue. I asked them what their favorite part was and both my son and daughter honestly couldn't decide, they enjoyed the whole book so much. It was refreshing to see them participate in something other than video games!
A long time in the future, in a dimension far, far away, Valen (Val) Jump only thought one thing when he heard the dare set by his mean cousin Drake- "I must do it". Jayce Jump, Valen's brother thought one thing too - "He has to do it"? When Val agreed to jump through space (something that they shouldn't do because it is illegal for kids their age), Jayce, Val's twin, has to come too because they pretty much do everything together. Everything goes good... until they accidentally come by an unknown dimension with a rotting version of Earth (their parents were little kids when they abandoned Earth (or Alpha Earth). and they are still trying to find it again). Their ship is damaged badly. When they hear an SOS call from this Earth, they decide that they will rescue the little girl sending the signal. But what do they do when they rescue someone, but need to be rescued themselves?
This was an exciting book! The dystopian world the Jump boys live in is cool. I like how they live near Jupiter. The space ships, robots, and technology is really cool too. The idea of using holograms to communicate is neat and described well in the story. Jayce is smart and calm. I love that in a main character. Val was the natural daredevil, but has brains. I really like the combo of the two characters. I enjoyed reading this book. The writing style was awesome (Jayce has a great 1st person POV) and I love the idea of the different dimensions and versions of Earth. I can't wait for a sequel to come out!
**NOTE I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This was a thoroughly enjoyable little book. A quick read, but a lot of fun. I especially loved the author's ability to put me into this future world through the use of slang she developed and interesting technology. If I had to pick out one complaint, it was that it was too short. I wasn't ready for it to be over when it was. So here's hoping she's got more adventures in store for the Jump Boys. Because that would be totally molten!
This was an absolutely delight to read! I loved the distinct characterization between Jayce and Val. So many times we see twins in books as the same character with a different name but here the realistic differences really shine. I loved the way the dare of ‘the jump” leads to something far greater. The fun twists along the way only add to the cleverness of the book. I will be adding author Alex Banks to our list of family favorites.
