Summary
Mibs's cousin Ledge is disappointed to discover that his "savvy"--the magical power unique to each member of their family--is to make things fall apart, which endangers his uncle Autry's ranch and reveals the family secret to future reporter Sarah.
This was a fun read that I will recommend to fans of Savvy and also to girls and boys who enjoy fantasy. It's a little harder to get into than Savvy was but it's still worth it, once you get past the 1st couple of chapters. A sympathetic protagonist and cool characters. Worthwhile reading. Is it Newbery worthy? Hmm....
ReplyDeleteI love Savvy and this book is pretty good so far! Can't wait to finish it!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kris that it took a little bit to get into, but was I did, I was hooked. I really enjoyed Ledger and watching him learn to Scumble his savvy.
