If only awesome magical powers came with an instruction manual...
The enchanting companion to Newbery Honor Book and New York Times Best Seller, Savvy.
Nine years after Mibs’s Savvy journey,
her cousin Ledge has just turned thirteen...
Ledger Kale’s savvy is a total dud—all he does is make little things fall apart. So his parents decide it’s safe to head to Wyoming for a family wedding, where it’s soon revealed that Ledge’s savvy is much more powerful than anyone thought. Worse, his savvy disaster has an outside witness: Sarah Jane Cabot, reporter wannabe and daughter of a local business man. Just like that, Ledge’s beloved normal life is over. Now, he has to keep Sarah from turning family secrets into headlines, stop her father from foreclosing on Uncle Autry’s ranch, and scumble his savvy into control so that, someday, he can go home.
Starring a cast both fresh and familiar, Scumble melds heart and humor with the wilds of the west.
This companion to Newbery Honor Book Savvy provides the same high level
of satisfying plot, delightful characters, alliterative language, and rich imagery.
