Impulse by Steven Gould

Cent has a secret.

She lives in isolation with her parents, hiding from the people who took her father captive and tortured him to gain control over his ability to teleport. Her parents are also hiding Cent from the government agencies who want to use them for their own purposes. She's connected; movies, TV, Internet, but Cent's parents are absolutely firm: no one can know where they live. There can be no images of them, or of Cent, anywhere.

Cent has seen the world, but only from the safety of her parents' arms. Her mother has not neglected her daughter's education. She's been all over, met people rich and very poor, has worked on her mother's global relief projects.

Cent has teleported more than anyone on Earth, except for her parents, Davy and Millie, but she's never been able to do it herself. Her life has never really been in danger.

Until the day she went snowboarding without permission and triggered an avalanche. When the snow and ice thundered down on her, she suddenly found herself in her own bedroom. That was the first time.

The second time will change all their lives forever.

Gould, Steven: - Steven Gould is the author of Jumper, Wildside, Helm, Blind Waves, Reflex, and Jumper: Griffin's Story, as well as many short stories. He is the recipient of the Hal Clement Young Adult Award for Science Fiction and has been on the Hugo ballot twice and the Nebula ballot once for his short fiction, but his favorite distinction was being listed among the American Library Association's Top 100 Banned Books of 1990-1999. Jumper was right there at number 94 between Stephen King's Christine and a nonfiction book on sex education. Steve lives in New Mexico with writer Laura J. Mixon and their two daughters. As he is somewhere between birth and death, he considers himself to be middle-aged.
