"Hi, my name is Charlie Burrows. I am twelve years old and am currently running for my life, I really don't even have time to talk to you, so I need to make it brief. Eight months ago I discovered that I was a descendant of the ancient Druids of England. Big deal right? That's what I thought too until my best friend (also a descendant) Bailey stared to be able to hurl huge boulders in the air using her mind, and I was able to jump into alternative dimensions. Ya...we have x-men like abilities that our parents never told us about! Thanks so much mom. You would think they could have at least been honest with us when we asked them to check for monsters under the bed. 'Yes dear, that is just an escaped troll from the fourth kingdom, animal control is on their way." To be fair my father who disappeared when I was two is the one who should have told me, but like I said he disappeared. So I was transported, well kidnapped really to this huge castle in Scotland where they train freaks like me to be part of the Order...which is too hard to explain right now, because I have the entire Vanari (Bad guys) army trying to find me before I can decode this ancient map that Merlin (my great great...really great grandfather, left behind. So to cap it off, it has been a rough year of dealing with my new abilities, trying to pass algebra, finding a father I never remember meeting and trying to keep humanity alive. Ok that splintering wood sound is the front door of the castle, I have to run. If you want to learn more about me, than read this book, but you're probably better off not knowing, because I have not had a solid night sleep since I learned that monsters under the bed are actually real."
The Jumper Chronicles Quest for Merlin Map eBook W C Peever
I really liked how the author was able to combine Norse mythology and the legend of King Author into this book. I found his reasoning fascinating and it made for a very good story.Charlie Burrow's is twelve and his world is changed when he finds out that he holds ancient mythical powers handed down from the Norse God's. He is part of an order that protects the world and keeps the "bad" God's from taking over.
He is a descendant of Merlin, and as such, is sought after for his abilities that are passed down from generation to generation. He has trustworthy friends who help him on his quest to restore order.
This book was fun to read. Like I stated above, the author was able to create a reality that made sense and combined to loved themes. This book will be liked by those who love the stories of Author and Merlin, and also by those who love mythology.
I purchased this book a couple of years ago and I am glad that I finally had the opportunity to read it. Once again, I have to question why I waited so long?

The Jumper Chronicles Quest for Merlin Map eBook W C Peever Reviews
I know the author personally and I love the action and story line. Can not wait for the second book to come out
Charlie and his friends are so easy to relate to that it is impossible not to care about their adventures. Charlie's power to jump between worlds causes him to be admired by some but it poses a great threat to others. Therefore, while facing the typical trials and tribulations of growing up, he must also defend himself against those who would cause him great harm. There are challenges around every corner and Charlie and his friends must overcome them or suffer the consequences.
This is a gripping fantasy novel that is a great foundation for the series. It weaves together mythology and historical elements to create some truly unique circumstances. This is not a book that talks down to its intended audience and I am sure some young adult readers will appreciate that. Lovers of mythology, fantasy and/or adventure tales are sure to find this a fully satisfying read.
REVIEW "THE JUMPER CHRONICLES, THE SEARCH FOR MERLIN'S MAP"
W.C. Peever's new work, THE JUMPER CHRONICLES, THE SEARCH FOR MERLIN'S MAP, is an outstanding Young Adult novel. Peever skillfully blends a new hidden world into the current and historical world we know, as twelve-year-old Charlie Burrows seeks to discover his ability as a descendant of Merlin. THE JUMPER CHRONICLES is the first book of a series based on this new understanding of our world. Exciting action ensues as Charlie and his friends, Bailey, Mick, and Tilley seek to find Merlin's Map which is the key to locating all of the crystal to protect the Order and defeat the Vanari. An artful weaving of mythologies from Egyptian Kings to Britannic Druids, to the Norse King of Gods, Odin and many other legends, Peever masterfully crafts a tapestry that includes and explains many of the legends. It gives readers a perspective not heretofore offered, while the author even pauses to discuss good and evil as young Charlie tries to sort out absolutes.
As a stand alone novel it is well conceived and executed, and as the first in a new series it leaves the reader wanting more and soon! Bring it on, Mr. Peever!
Young Adult readers may be challenged by THE JUMPER CHRONICLES, THE SEARCH FOR MERLIN'S MAP, but no more so than by Percy Jackson or Harry Potter series. Make no mistake, however, W.C. Peever does not attempt to mimic these fine tales, rather he takes the fantasy genre to a new, higher level. Bravo!
There's nothing wrong with trying to cash in on the popularity of the Harry Potter franchise. Certainly there are countless variations on supernatural themed series with young protagonists. Unfortunately, the present book is just too closely modeled on the Potter original. Where it is original it is confusing and poorly thought out.
The author is also not the most compelling of writers. The pacing tends to be either too fast or too slow. He has no firm grasp of how to build suspense. The publisher hasn't served the author well either. The book really needed a firm editor who had a good grasp of basic English punctuation. The use of quotation marks is so inconsistent that it is difficult at times to figure out where the characters start and stop speaking.
The plot is confusing and not particularly compelling. It requires the characters to act foolishly on too many occasions. The reader can see developments long before the protagonists. Finally, it uses the tired device of mind control as a crutch.
I read the edition. The formatting for the seems to be error free.
The book is not unreadable. It might satisfy the unsophisticated. But the author is not in the same league as Rowling or Riordan.
I just finished reading this book and it was great. i am 24 years old and it brought me back to my harry potter reading days. if you like harry potter or percy jackson series you will love this book. it is about a 12 year old boy named charlie who finds out he has the ability to jump to different dimensions. he basically is the only one who can save everyone from doom. the characters a very likable, my favorite was bailey (Charlie's best friend since birth) she is a tough girl who doesn't take anything from anyone. I really love charlie and baileys relationship with each other, you can tell that they really care for each-other. i would like to see the next book go into micks character a little more ( he is a friend of both charlie and baileys) all of these kids go to a school where they learn how to use there powers. Charlie is the only kid who is a jumper. i still do not like or trust tillie's character, and i would much rather see a relationship between charlie and bailey instead of tillie, but for now it seems charlie has his eye on tillie. To wrap things up, this was a very good book and i can't wait for the second one to come out.
I really liked how the author was able to combine Norse mythology and the legend of King Author into this book. I found his reasoning fascinating and it made for a very good story.
