Scumble

I've been gone for a while, so sorry about that. There's a new book I've read, and it's called....
                                      

Scumble, by Ingrid Law

Rating:Five Stars 

 

Although this is not in a series, it is related to Savvy. You may find that the book will be a whole lot more understandable if you read that first. This book is about how a boy named Ledger Kale has a very destructive savvy( a savvy is a special power that a few families have. Each savvy is different.) With only a stopwatch and a tire the victim, Ledger's family decides it is safe enough to head to a wedding. However the first thing he does is blow up the barn! As the entire city would be in danger, Ledger's parents are forced to leave him at the farm until he can scumble. (Scumbling is controlling your powers) To make matters even worse, someone has seen his unusual family,someone who is a newspaper reporter for the natural, someone by the name of Sarah  Jane.Ledger now has to scumble AND stop Sarah Jane from revealing his secret.

I loved this book! It is unlike any other book I have read. ( Except for Savvy) Sure, there are books about families with super powers , but what about one where they aren’t super heroes, but people trying to fit in while trying not to sneeze and go 5 minutes back in the past. I never said that the powers were helpful.

Well that was a pretty good comeback! I am planning to post again on Thursday, so check back then!
