Law’s previous book, Savvy, introduces readers to the unique talents that appear for teens in some special families on their thirteenth birthday. In the award winning Savvy it was Mibs’ turn, and now in Scumble it is Ledge’s. But his new talents appear to only leave destruction in their wake and there is a lot of tearing down and building up before he discovers what those talents really mean.

A great book for adventure readers and a book both boys and girls won’t want to put down.
