Law has again told a story with as much heart as creativity. -School Library Journal Law tenderly handles the challenges of having a grandparent with Alzheimer's, highlighting the power of familial love...Readers will be caught up in this snowy, magical adventure and the characters' efforts to balance their true, sparkly selves with growing up. -Booklist Eccentricity abounds, with vibrant supporting characters...Gypsy carries on the family traditions with aplomb. -Horn Book Savvy Accolades: Newbery Honor - Winner ALA Notable Children's Book Boston Globe-Horn Book Award - Honor New York Times bestseller Savvy and Scumble have been nominated for over 30 state awards Oprah's reading list pick Al Rocker's Book Club for Kids selection Scumble Accolades: New York Times bestseller Kid's Next List selection Kansas State Reading Circle Recommended Read A Chicago Public Library Best of the Best Books Selection A Smithsonian Notable Book for Children
