"A witty yet moving tale of teenage love, the power
of friendship, and how bravery and a willing heart can save an entire people
"The Sun Jumpers" clearly showcases author Ken Luber's genuine flair
for creating a consistently compelling, original, and memorable story populated
by deftly crafted characters and replete with unexpected twists and turns. Highly
recommended for school and community library Science Fiction & Fantasy
collections." Midwest Book Review
“A charming flight of
fancy that provides a pleasant, thoughtful diversion…. Luber has constructed a lighthearted romp
that’s permeated by humor regarding adolescent antics, 20-something angst, and
a wealth of inevitable culture-clash misunderstandings. But it also deals with
some serious issues, including modern-day bigotry (the Kishoki are a
dark-skinned people), the sometimes-troubled relationships between parents and
offspring, and the need to find and follow one’s own truth.” Kirkus
Review
Donna Clapham - United Kingdom Book Reviewer
“I loved the
story behind this book and can imagine this playing out well in a movie. It is
a fun, very positive/happy read following the adventures of a group of
teenagers who end up 10,000 years in the future. Most of the book follows their
adventures in trying to get to grips with the modern world and is a story of
deep friendship, love and acceptance in a sometimes difficult world. The book
has a slight philosophical edge that makes you stop and think, but definitely
doesn’t get bogged down in details as could easily happen with a story of this
kind; Luber is skilled at making you stop and think without things becoming too
deep or ruining the light-hearted, playful theme.”
