Scumble is a companion novel to the Newbery Honor winner Savvy. I liked both books, but I think I liked Savvy more. A savvy is a special power. In this book, Ledger Kale’s savvy arrives on his 13th birthday, and it’s quite destructive. Ledger spends the summer at his uncle’s ranch in Wyoming learning how to scumble, or harness, his savvy so that it becomes a positive power. While Ledger is scumbling, he has to deal with 13-year-old Sarah Jane Cabot, who seems to be nothing but a trouble-maker. Ledger uncovers secrets about Sarah Jane and her mother while dealing with Sarah Jane’s mean father. This 400 page fantasy book is filled with adventure and humor.
