Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Sky Jumpers is a Post-apocalyptic Children's Book by Peggy Eddleman.Hope Toriella is a 12-year-old girl living in the town of White Rock, Nebraska, situated in a crater in a USA that's been ravaged by World War III. She's impulsive, a risk-taker, and unfortunately for her, not the best type of inventor in a town where people are encouraged to do just that.One day in winter however, her town is invaded by bandits who've come to take their antibiotics. This is a problem because, without said antibiotics, much of the town likely won't survive the months to come. However, if they don't hand it over, the bandits will kill everyone there. So, with no other options, and with the town's guard off in the neighbouring town of Browning, the town has to comply and hand over their next batch when it's ready.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Hope, however, is not going to just sit idly by and let these bandits doom her people like this. Ultimately, she decides that maybe, just maybe, her impulsiveness is just what she needs to save the day.So, with the help of her friends, Brock, Aaren, and Aaren's little sister Brenna, Hope decides to go over the Bomb's Breath around the town to Browning to get the guards back.The book was published in 2013. The book also has a sequel, Forbidden Flats.

Brats with Slingshots: Hope uses one in the orchard to shoot rotten apples at the horses some bandits are riding on, spooking them so they rear up and drop their rider.

Sole Surviving Scientist
 Sky Jumpers / int_6b496083
comment
Sole Surviving Scientist: Long before Hope was born, Frank Hudson was a combination of this and a Child Prodigy in the years after World War III. He was only twelve years old, but used his library of science books to help his group of 26 survivors survive, with things like ammonia refrigeration systems and a telegraph system powered by electrolyte batteries.

For Want of a Nail
 Sky Jumpers / int_79a60aec
comment
For Want of a Nail: Hope loses her "perfect potato" for her newest invention, a hand-crank potato peeler, on the tram ride to school, and has to find a substitute. She ultimately settles on a less-than-stellar one. When she's demonstrating her peeler with the new potato, though, the whole thing comes apart and she gets a jagged piece of wood in her hand.

Wasteland Elder
 Sky Jumpers / int_ab74122a
comment
Wasteland Elder: Mr. Hudson was only twelve during the war that wiped out of humanity several decades before the book, and serves as the Sole Surviving Scientist of the town, with his Steampunk inventions helping make life easier. He's neither the leader of the town nor the oldest remaining survivor, but he's probably the smartest of them, and when he presents ideas to the town council, they take him very seriously.
