Summary: This is a must-read book for wild and independant teens.
Review: In this story, Dru, the main character, finds herself worrying about her friend Elisa and her guy, Scooter. Little did she know that worrying might not be enough to save her friend's lives. Dru lives close to a teen jumping spot, The Nail. When the couple decide to jump it, Dru seems more worried than ever. She knows that someone hit the buldge and almost got killed. She doesn't want that to happen to Elisa. This is a must-read for teens that think that being wild is phat, because something just might happen.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Good book!
Review: Jumping the Nail is a book about a group of teenage friends who come across a 90-foot deep fall called the Nail. Many of the teens wanted to jump it to prove that they are not afraid of anything. The first ones to jump are Elisa and her boy friend Scooter. She wanted to show her love for him by jumping the nail. When they jump it safely, Elisa's friend Dru noticed that Elisa was changing. She wasn't the same person that Dru was friends with. The reader wonders if he made her stop her medication. I think that this was a very suspenseful book and that not that many people would dislike it. I liked the suspense of the floating shredded boot. It shows a lot about peer pressure from teens and how teens would deal with it. Another thing that I found interesting was that not only teens give peer pressure; parents can put pressure on their kids too to make their decisions.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Review for The Second Biggest Project I Will Probably Get
Review: Jumping The Nail is one of the best books I have ever read. It takes place in La Paloma, CA where Dru, Mike, Scooter, and Elisa live. La Paloma is the home of a ninety foot cliff called the Nail. Scooter and his girlfriend, Elisa, plan to jump off the Nail. No one in La Paloma has jumped from the Nail ever since the terrible accident ten years. Before Dru and Mike can stop them, Scooter and Elisa jump. After the jump, Elisa starts speaking about something mysterious she saw in the water. This book is appropriate for the ages 12 and up. I think that people who like suspense and romance will enjoy this book. Jumping The Nail contains a little romance, it shows the importance of friendship, and it shows the danger of taking chances.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jumping into an adventure
Review: Jumping the Nail was one of the best books I have ever read!! This book is about a group of teenagers that have started a new hobby, one that is very dangerous. Jumping the nail. Jumping the nail refers to jumping off the edge of a cliff called the Nail. the setting in this book is mostly at the Nail. The other parts of the book is in other places. I think the authors message of this book is about peer pressure and how it can take over your life. I also think that the book has something to do with the saying, "If your friend jumped off a cliff would you?" I really liked that Dru would do what ever it took to make sure that her friend Elisa was ok. I think that both girls and boys would enjoy this book. The girls and boys that read this book should be at least in their teenage years or older to understand this book because of the events that happen in Jumping the Nail and the. The teenagers that read this book should at least be at the eighth grade reading level because they would not understand it otherwise. Lastly I think that all teenagers should read this book. It has many life lessons that students should learn. For instance you should not be able to be pulled into the game of peer pressure. Once again I think that this is a great book and everyone should read Jumping the Nail.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: A Real Cliffhanger
Review: The book Jumping the Nail was a great book. I enjoyed reading to see what was going to happen next.

Summary: Jumping the Nail, really cool!
Review: The book takes place in Southern California near the beach. The characters Mike Moriarty, Dru Driscoll, Scooter Navarro, and Elisa Fratello are all high school graduates.
This story is about The Nail this high cliff that kids like too jump off into the deep, deep, deep water. Scooter talks Elisa his girlfriend into jumping the Nail but she is very scared and not a very strong person. She will do things to please other people. Then other kids started to talk about jumping. Mike and Dru were strong people and tried to stop people from making bad choices. In life bad choices can last longer then one moment of fun that could change your life forever, all in the name of love. It's about kids talking kids into doing things they really don't want to do.
The part that I liked was when Elisa was in the water and she thought the girl who was in the car grabbed her foot and told "her to stay with her."
Both Boys and girls age 13 and up would like to read this book. This book talks about interesting choices you have make everyday it's like jumping the Nail everyday. The book talks about all different types of people and social levels and everybody still has to make choices good or bad. In the end you make the final choice. The book has some twist and scary stuff in it.
