Jumpman

student submitted - In the book Jumpman, the character Jules is getting really jealous of a kid who "jumped" back to Jules's time from some point in the future. This kid is spending a lot of time with a girl that Jules likes. Unfortunately, the future kid's jump pack is broken so it's not likely that he is leaving any time soon. How can Jules stop the girl that he likes from getting sucked in by this kid from the future?
