'A late-bloomer's coming-of-age tale filled with lovable and unforgettable personalities, Walking on Trampolines is an irresistible and hilarious journey through friendship, first love, family ties and who you can become if you're brave enough. Tallulah 'Lulu' de Longland is a pretty normal teenager - except for the secret language she shares with her quirky best friend, Annabelle Andrews, and having a mother who gives names to the dresses she wears. When she meets Joshua Keaton at age sixteen and falls in love, there's nothing to indicate she's heading for the ultimate betrayal. Six years later, she finds herself alone, stuck in her small home town and doing book-keeping for her father's plumbing business. Not so much seizing the moment, as clawing it back from the past, she ups and moves to the city. It turns out she makes a great personal assistant to radio star, Duncan McAllister, and starts seeing the nice, but perhaps a little dull, Ben Morton. But when the past and the future collide, perpetual good girl Lulu is forced to make a decision: remain the ever-dependable one who gets walked all over, or do something unexpected and maybe even unforgivable?'
