— “Great story line, a sweet family in the midst of a tragedy finds themselves facing an unknown presence."
— “… a truly chilling novel. Most of her books feature evil-dolls or evil-children which is an interesting preference for this author."
— " I could not put the book down, not knowing if I was scared to go to sleep or scared I'd miss something if I closed it.”
— " This was one creepy read. I never thought a little girl jumping rope could be so spooky!”
— " Where has Ruby Jean Jensen been all my life? I have learned the errors of my ways before it was too late."
Ruby Jean has been recognized as truly a pioneer of the horror genre and a trailblazer for women authors in horror. She is fondly remembered by her fans, many of whom were teenagers when they first read her novels. New fans will be fascinated to explore her 30 novels! Each novel is standalone, with new characters and settings. JUMP ROPE explores the secrets surrounding an unexplained death. It is never safe to ask too many questions. Like all of Ruby Jean’s works, JUMP ROPE will be highly appreciated by both young and older adults.
Originally published in 1988, JUMP ROPE opens with an apparent suicide. Young, sensitive Haley never told anybody about the red-striped jump rope wrapped around her father's wrists as he lay in a pool of blood. Or about the other little girl—the one who looked just like Haley—who had taken the jump rope and skipped away, singing that horrible, childish tune. But her sister Cassie soon had good reason to look up the definition of the word “doppelganger” …
Quoting Sophie Clark in an online posting: “Part of what I find so comforting … is the genuine empathy and tenderness Jensen has for her characters. Her depiction of lonely, isolated children is particularly touching. I was moved by how she expresses the self-doubt children experience when their relationships with family members bring disappointment … The thoughtfulness Jensen brings to rendering her characters only makes it more surprising when she kills them off … sweet, kind characters of all ages suffer too. This ratchets up the suspense. Somehow, Jensen’s brand of colorful horror manages to never feel mean-spirited — which is quite an achievement, given the extravagance of some of her death scenes.”
