About this eBook
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

Scumble, by Ingrid Law, is a fantastic book, I think everyone should read. Its filled with action, and suspense. Ledger finds out on his 13th birthday, he will have a "savvy". But when he is at his family party, he see's that its already 7pm and he still hasn't gotten his savvy! His family goes to visit their cousins who live in Wyoming. They already got their savvys, and now its his turn. While Ledger is visiting his cousins, Rocket and his "almost wife" plan out their weddding. Years before their almost wedding, their Grandma died of old age. Her savvy was to collect radio waves in jars and whenever you opened one of her jars, there would be music coming out. At Rockets wedding, (its a tradition) that each wedding has Grandma Dollops (was the person who died) jars were also set up o be in memory of her. But, this wedding, something terrible goes wrong! Ledgers savvy finnaly shows up! What do you think ight happen? If you like action and suspense, you should read this great book. And, find out what happens at Rockets wedding!

I am a writer myself, and whenever I read Savvy or Scumble(I read the books multiple times) I can just feel the book. It feels as if I am in the story myself. Amazing story, I can't wait to read the rest of the series.
