He enjoys pulling pranks and showing off his savvy. Ingrid Law is the New York Times bestselling author of two novels for young readers, Savvy and Scumble. 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. Rocket is the typical, full-of-himself teenage boy. To top it all off, someone outside the family has witnessed his destruction. It starts out with small things, but then it gets worse. But when his birthday comes, he discovers that his savvy is actually making things fall apart. More than anything, he wants the power to run like the wind. It's nine years after Savvy, and Mibs' cousin Ledge is on the verge of turning thirteen.
