JUMPING THE NAIL

At seventeen Dru gets involved with the latest high school stunt-leaping between deadly cliffs into the ocean far below. Things get out of hand as manipulative relationships and resulting jealousies cause more students to risk their lives. “It’s Bunting’s acknowledgment of the allure of danger and the power that comes from facing it as well as her on-target depiction of how easy it is to lose perspective when you fall in love that makes her novel more than just a good fast read.” —Booklist
