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

    The author’s writing was uninteresting and all the new characters she introduced were jerks. I especially couldn’t stand the main character. I stopped reading when the book’s plot didn’t move forward and the author wrote the main character as having opinions on what a ‘lady’ should be.
  • Great but not as good as savvy

    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.

    Well.. Though Law, as you can tell, put many details and nought into her book, she did not exceed nor reach my expectations that I had for this book. Though, Savvy, her first book, I thought did and the storyline was much more well.... Interesting to read.

    This book is truly amazing and I highly recommend it to all Kids. However, I liked the first book, Savvy a lot better. If you Have not read Savvy, I suggest reading it before you start this book.
  • This book was amazing!

    The whole time I was reading this book, I never thought I could put it down! The story line was amazing, and the way all the characters were described was just awesome! I remember reading Savvy, and I was totally attached, and I can easily say, I feel the same way about this sequel. Fantastic!
