Black Caucus of the American Library Association BCALA, 2020 Best of the Best Booklist
A heartwarming story about finding your place, in the ropes and out.
When eleven-year-old Jayla finds out that her mother used to be a Double Dutch champion, she's stunned. Her mom, who’s on doctor’s orders to lower her blood pressure, could move like that?!? Jayla decides to follow in her mom’s footsteps, thinking that maybe double Dutch can make her stand out in her big, quirky family. As she puts together a team at school and prepares to compete, Jayla finds that Double Dutch is about a lot more than jumping rope—and it just might change her life in ways she never imagined. Full of hilarious family dynamics and plenty of jump rope action, Jayla Jumps In follows one girl’s quest to get her mom healthy and find her place in her community.
