Publisher Description
Read the New York Times bestseller and companion to Newbery Honor winner Savvy!
It's nine years after Savvy, and Mibs' cousin Ledge is on the verge of turning thirteen. More than anything, he wants the power to run like the wind. But when his birthday comes, he discovers that his savvy is actually making things fall apart. It starts out with small things, but then it gets worse. To top it all off, someone outside the family has witnessed his destruction. Now, in addition to trying to figure out how to control - or scumble - his savvy, he's got to worry about how to protect the family secrets. Over the course of one amazing summer, Ledge learns a lot about himself and his family, makes a new - and very unlikely - friend, and learns to appreciate his newfound skills.
"Readers will delight in the tall-tale tropes and Ledge's authentic physical, emotional, and artistic challenges." - Booklist, starred review
"The title stands alone in its fast-paced plot with twists and turns galore, and readers familiar with Savvy will eat it up and wish for more." - School Library Journal
Customer Reviews
Great but not as good as savvy
It is not a lot like savvy
SEQUEL?
Personally, I think this is one of the greatest books of all time. I think that Ingrid Law should make another one though :(. Either way I like this book a lot more than Savvy, and I want to find out more about the savvy generations.
Wonderful!
Scumble is a 400 page book and it was so good I finished it in one day! Ledger is a great character and the book filled me with wonder and suspense. Don't you love when you have a good book to read that you can't put down? I would suggest to read the first book Savvy because that really explains it better. I did and I love this series. I hope there is a third one Ingrid Law! Basically, read this book. It is great!
