Apparently a movie has been made of this novel, though I haven't seen it.
A teen-ager panics and suddenly he is SOMEWHERE ELSE--somewhere miles away from his previous location. At first he suspects he had some sort of blackout because his abusive parent did something horrible and his mind won't let him remember exactly what happened.
Later he discovers he can teleport.
After that, things get interesting. Well worth reading!

From back cover: What if you could go anywhere in the world, in the blink of an eye? Where would you go? What would you do? Davy can teleport. To survive, Davy must learn to use and control his power in a world that is more threatening and complex than he ever imagined
