Escape one danger. Jump into another. . . . Twelve-year-old Hope has always felt a little different from everyone else who lives in White Rock. She tries hard, but she doesn’t always think before she acts. She takes big risks. Sometimes her risks pay off, but sometimes they fail. Sometimes she fails. Hope knows that the most dangerous thing about living in White Rock is that it’s so close to the deadly Bomb’s Breath—the invisible, fifteen-foot-thick band of compressed air that’s hovered over the earth since the Green Bombs of World War III. The citizens of White Rock live in fear of the Bomb’s Breath. Only Hope has figured out a way to go through it—and lived to tell the tale. But when a massive tremor rips across the earth, the Bomb’s Breath begins to lower over White Rock. It’s up to Hope and her friends Brock and Aaren to make the dangerous journey far from home, across the bandit-ridden Forbidden Flats to the wilds of the Rocky Mountains, and obtain the one thing that may be able to stop it—before the Bomb’s Breath sinks too far and destroys them all. This time, Hope can’t fail. From the Hardcover edition.

From School Library Journal Gr 5–7—The town of White Rock has always lived in fear of the deadly gas known as "Bomb's Breath," but now it's up to Hope to find the one thing that may stop the danger for good. SLJ said of the first book, "[readers] not ready for the violence of 'The Hunger Games' will enjoy the book's adrenaline-rushed daredevil adventures."

Just as good as the original By FantasyFan13 Ever read an awesome first book in a series and then you get to the second one, finish it, and then you're like, "meh, that was a letdown"? SO not the case with "The Forbidden Flats." "Sky Jumpers" set a high bar for the sequel to live up to, but book 2 did not disappoint!At the very beginning of the book, there is a massive earthquake in and around the town of White Rock. Besides damaging buildings and causing a lot of injuries, the earthquake exposes underground minerals that begin releasing gases into the air that react chemically with the Bomb's Breath, making it denser and causing it to start descending into the crater towards people's homes. There is a mineral called seforium that can reverse the reaction and put the Bomb's Breath back at its proper elevation, but it can only be found in the Rocky Mountains--a journey of hundreds of miles. The rest of the book is a desperate race to retrieve the seforium and return to White Rock in time to reverse the deadly reaction.I had the opportunity to go to a book signing with Peggy Eddleman and hear her talk about "The Forbidden Flats," and one thing she mentioned during her spiel was that the reason there are so many orphans in middle-grade fiction is so the main characters can go off and have adventures without parents interfering and trying to keep them safe. Hope, the narrator and main character of the "Sky Jumpers" series, has both her parents. What she doesn't have is a pair of bumbling fools trying ineffectively to keep her out of danger as is so common in other middle-grade books whose MCs are not orphans. (Case in point: Obert Skye's "Pillage" books. All the adults in those books are either completely incompetent or the villain.) Hope's parents are sensible adults, and the way in which Hope was allowed to join the expedition to retrieve the seforium was quite elegant, well thought out, and it made sense.One thing I liked about the original "Sky Jumpers" was how the characters, particularly Hope, didn't stay static. They changed and grew over the course of the story, and the same holds true for the sequel. In this book Hope meets a man named Luke and finds out that he is her biological uncle. She trusts him and follows his lead into some situations where she shouldn't have, and it gets her into trouble a couple of times. But toward the end of the book, after it seems Luke has ruined any chance the expedition may have had of trading for the necessary seforium and returning to White Rock in time, Hope salvages the situation with her honesty and ingenuity. And here's something really important: she forgives Luke. Even after he nearly causes their whole mission to fail, Hope confronts him, gives him a dressing-down, and then tells him it's okay and asks him to come back with her and her friends to save White Rock. I think too often books end with the "villains" getting "what they deserve" and ending up conveniently dead--and I admit that if the villain is evil enough, sometimes that's the only way for the protagonists to get a happy ending--but Luke wasn't really a villain. He was just misguided, but he's Hope's family, and to Hope--who never knew her birth parents--that's more important than the mistakes he made.All in all, a very satisfying read. Kind of makes me sad that this is the last book. Oh well. At that book signing I mentioned, Peggy gave us some teasers about books she is planning, so I will definitely be keeping an eye out for them. If they're anything near as good as the "Sky Jumpers" books, they will be very good indeed. A solid five stars.

The story line introduces a few new characters and one very special one. I enjoyed the continuing character development and watching these characters mature and learn more about their world and family. It's every kids dream. It was packed full of adventure and some very cool new activities (don't want to spoil anything here) and had me laughing and wishing I could experience those things myself. Well done Peggy. Do I have to wait another year for book 3? Is so, I know it will be worth it!

Holt White Rock is in trouble once more, Hope and her town must find a way to save the them all.Peggy Eddleman triumphs again with this enjoyable sequel. I found myself reading and reading, and suddenly I was half way through. Forbidden Flats reads fast, and just like the first one, has lots of action and heart. This time Hope finds herself on a journey to save her town once again. They are accompanied by a stranger, who seems familiar to Hope, but she can't place it. Hope is my hero. This girl is amazing. I love her willingness to try anything and the way she jumps in and helps anyone at any time. I love books where the main lead character is a strong girl, and the Sky Jumpers series is definitely at the top of my list of favorites.5 out of 5 stars! Need a last minute gift? The Sky Jumpers series is it.
