Autor Robert Gipeen Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 feb 2026
Tenth anniversary edition, with a new introduction by Darnell Arnoult, Sandra L. Ballard, Marianne Worthington, and Gillian Berchowitz and a new afterword by Beth Macy First published in 2015, Trampoline introduced readers to Dawn Jewell, a fierce, funny, and unforgettable fifteen year old navigating the complexities of family, activism, and identity in eastern Kentucky. With a voice as raw and real as the Appalachian landscape she inhabits, Dawn becomes an unlikely fighter in her grandmother’s crusade against mountaintop removal mining—while wrestling with her own need for escape and self-discovery.
This tenth anniversary edition celebrates the enduring power of Robert Gipe’s illustrated debut novel, the first in the acclaimed Canard County Trilogy, rounded out by his later novels Weedeater (2018) and Pop (2021). Gipe’s storytelling—rooted in oral tradition and punctuated by his signature hand-drawn illustrations—captures the grit, humor, and heart of a region too often misunderstood. His portrayal of Appalachia is both unflinching and deeply loving.
The new edition features an afterword by bestselling author Beth Macy (Dopesick, Raising Lazarus). It also includes an collective introduction by Darnell Arnoult, Sandra L. Ballard, Marianne Worthington, and Gillian Berchowitz, offering insight into the novel’s place in Appalachian literature and its influence on a generation of readers and writers.
Limited to 1,000 copies, this commemorative edition is a tribute to a beloved book and its visionary author. Whether you're discovering Dawn Jewell for the first time or returning to Canard County, Trampoline remains a vital, vibrant portrait of a young woman—and a region—fighting to be heard.

Recenzii
Trampoline, Weedeater, and Pop collectively address with wit and complexity the trials of white working-class life in Appalachia: the struggles with addiction, but also the corporate exploitation of the region and its inhabitants; the violence but also the beauty. —Margaret Renkl, The New York Times
I fear this book. I’m in love with this book. I’m laughing out loud at this book. I am knocked to my knees in grief by this book. One of the most powerful works of contemporary fiction I’ve read in years. I’ll never forget Dawn Jewell. I’ll never escape Canard County. —Ann Pancake, author of Strange as This Weather Has Been and Me and My Daddy Listen to Bob Marley
Dawn Jewell is one of the most memorable and endearing narrators I have ever read. She's like a combination of Scout Finch, Huck Finn, Holden Caulfield, and True Grit's Mattie Ross, but even more she is completely her own person, the creation of Robert Gipe, an author who has given us a novel that provides everything we need in great fiction: a sense of place that drips with kudzu and coal dust; complex characters who rise up off the page as living, breathing people we will not soon forget; and a rollicking story that is by turns hilarious, profound, deeply moving, and always lyrically beautiful. I think Trampoline is one of the most important novels to come out of Appalachia in a long while and announces an important new voice in our literature. I loved every single bit of this book. —Silas House, author of All These Ghosts and Clay's Quilt
There are the books you like, and the books you love, and then there are the ones you want to hold to your heart for a minute after you turn the last page. Robert Gipe’s illustrated novel Trampoline is one of those—not just well written, which it is; and not just visually appealing, which the wonderfully deadpan black-and-white drawings make sure of; but there is something deeply lovable about it, an undertow of affection you couldn’t fight if you wanted to. …Gipe deftly avoids every single cliché that could trip such a story up, which includes having a pitch-perfect ear for dialect and making it into something marvelous. —Library Journal
Robert Gipe’s powerful sense of place will seep into teen readers’ lives. This is a killer debut of one teenager’s flight from destruction—strong stuff tempered with humor and love. —School Library Journal
