![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There’s Rocket’s brother Samson, who was last seen blowing out the candles on his thirteenth-birthday cake, and now spends most of his time invisible. There’s cousin Rocket, whose ability to shoot lightning out of his fingertips has caused a lot of brownouts, fried circuitry, and even some bodily harm. There he joins other “defective misfits” in his family as they work out how to scumble their savvy. Suddenly Ledge’s hopes of gaining super-speed, so he can win a father-son half-marathon with his Dad, must now make way for a summer sentenced to the Flying Cattleheart Ranch near Sundance, Wyoming. The birthday kid this time is Ledger “Ledge” Kale, whose special ability to “Bust! Things! Up!” literally brings down the house at a family wedding reception. ![]() In this sequel, we meet some of the Beaumonts again, as well as their cousins the O’Connells and the Kales. Otherwise, people could get hurt, or even worse, outsiders might find out about the family’s secret. The challenge is to recognize what that savvy is and scumble it, or figure out how to control it, before something big happens. In her debut novel Savvy, Ingrid Law introduced us to the big, unconventional Beaumont family, in which each child manifests a unique superpower (called a “savvy”) on his or her 13th birthday. ![]()
