JumpMan Rule #1: Don’t Touch Anything Jamies Review – –
I read an awesome book titled Jumpman Rule 1: Don’t Touch Anything by James Valentine. The books setting are in 2 places: In year fifteen billion and seventy three on earth and earth around now.

The main characters are Jules Santorini and Gen Corrigan, and Theodore Pine Four from the future. His nickname is Theo.

The main problem occurs when Theo appears and he is visible. He is supposed to be invisible. And he is only supposed to stay for 5 minutes, but he is there for much, much longer…

My favorite part was when Theo actually appears. It was just funny to think that there was Jules and Gen, and then Theo coming out of nowhere. I like this part because it is where it all starts and problems begin.

I really enjoyed this book because I enjoy futuristic stories such as these. I would recommend this book to people who like Sci-Fiction and like reading books of the future.

Jumpman Review
The book that I am reviewing is Jumpman by James Valentine. This book Theo, of the year fifteen billion and seventy three, gets to try out his new jumpman and lands in 2004. The first rule of time travel is: Don’t touch anything and you aren’t supposed to be visible. He realizes that something was wrong when he appeared, visible in Gen’s bedroom while Gen and Jules were talking. Jules and Gen have to help get Theo back to his time before he evaporates.

Theo had won a “worlds” wide contest to test out the new jumpman and to his surprise it was defective. You are not supposed to be seen when you jump because you are supposed to be ten seconds behind what you are looking at. Theo shows up visible in Gen’s bedroom and something very bad happens. Theo is not a very good at keeping secrets because now that he’s visible Gen and Jules know a lot about the future and find out so many things that could have changed their life if they didn’t know. Gen gets irritated very easily with Theo for not telling her things about the future but she and Jules don’t understand how important it is to not know these things. Theo tries very hard not to “Spill the lentils,” or “Let the armadillo out of the trunk.” That’s future language for spilling the beans and letting the cat out of the bag. He can not resist just letting future secrets just slip out accidentally. Jules is very easy to get annoyed and jealous. He can’t stand to be interrupted or bothered when he is doing something important. You can tell just by what has been told that this book is completely insane and fun.

Every good book has to have a problem and in this one Theo gets sick. He catches a cold from the future which makes his body parts disappear and move around the room. He has to send Jules to the future to get his parents. When he returns with Theo’s parents Gen’s and Jules’s Parents get suspicious because they keep thinking they see someone else in the room besides Gen and Jules. When Jules returns with Theo’s parents…………. Well you’ll see what happens.

My absolute favorite part of this book was when Theo, Jules and Gen were talking about the people of the future who broke the rules of time travel. In this part they say Bill Gates came from the future and brought all the future technology and invented a lot of things to our time. The Code Cops couldn’t fix the damage so he just stayed here. I think this part is hilarious because it they’re talking about someone in our time that is so smart that it would make sense if he was from the future.

I think this book is so great because it’s thrilling and leaves you hanging after every chapter. There are so many surprises in this book I recommend you read this book if your into sci-fi and/or realistic fiction. I would personally give this book five stars because I had a great time reading it and never ever wanted to put it down. I would not recommend this book for people who like historical fiction but if you do choose to read it I hope you read the second one also!
: Theo knows the Rule, just as every kid from the year fifteen billion and seventy-three does: When using your TimeMaster JumpMan for routine time travel, DON’T TOUCH ANYTHING. And usually, when traveling to routine JumpSites like Three Seconds After the Big Bang or the Building of the Great Pyramid, this is no problem. But Theo’s latest TimeJump is anything but routine. First, this Jump has put him in the early twenty-first century, of all places. Second, he has found himself visible to Genevieve and Jules, just as Jules is about to ask Gen out on a date. And finally, his JumpMan won’t send him back to where he came from.

Will Theo get back to his own time, without disintegrating? Will the very fabric of space and time be torn to shreds? And most important…will Jules ever be able to ask Gen out on that date? Only time will tell in this roller-coaster ride of action, humor, and suspense from international best-seller James Valentine. Trouble begins when flashy boy-from-the-future, Theodore Pine Four, a seasoned recreational time-traveler, wins a contest that allows him to briefly visit a special, never-before-seen place and time with the brand-new, handheld TimeMaster JumpMan Pro. Unfortunately, contest director Quincy Blake gives Theo the wrong JumpMan prototype. He doesn’t end up somewhere amazing like the Great Pyramids, but, to his dismay, in an incredibly boring bedroom in Mil3 (the 21st century), populated by a 14-year-girl named Genevieve and her childhood friend, Jules. Unfortunately, Jules has just mustered the nerve to ask Gen on a date. Budding romance is not the only thing Theo interrupts. If he breaks the one TimeJump rule–”don’t touch anything”–he will change history forever.

Theo’s perspectives on the 21st century are often hilarious. His commentary on many topics, including how Bill Gates is actually a TimeJumper from the future, will have readers looking at everything in a new light. The action is fast and furious as Theo, Jules, and Gen travel through time and try to get Theo back home in one piece. The question that simmers beneath it all is whether Jules can rise to the occasion to deal with Theo, get reacquainted with his recently-divorced father, and, of course, get the girl. Readers of all ages will devour this smart, funny, thought-provoking adventure, the first in James Valentine’s bestselling Australian series. (Ages 9 to 13) –Karin Snelson
