Jump the Cracks was included on the list of
"Books Worth Knowing" by the Illinois Library Association
in 2008:

In a mixture of pique, projection, and protectiveness, Victoria semi-accidentally kidnaps a toddler on a train... and finds herself on the lam with a cute kid as she tries to figure out how to keep her charge and herself from the law on the one hand and angry criminals on the other.

-- Deborah Stevenson, Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
