Booklist - 02/01/2025 This sequel to Ellie Engle Saves Herself (2023) features Ellie's friend Bree Boyd, who experiences SPA (Sudden Power Acquisition) after being electrocuted during a storm. Bree’s family is known for being highly successful at everything they do, and Bree believes her talent for spelling is what truly makes her a Boyd. What she doesn’t share with her family is that although she’s an amazing speller, her heart isn’t in it. When Bree’s friends enter the school talent show, she must decide if she wants to continue on the path set by her father, who is emotionally distant and focused on his political career, or pursue her passions. Bree’s new power of telekinesis complicates everything, and her efforts to learn to use her power parallel her personal journey toward standing up for herself. This is an empowering addition to the world of Ellie Engle that will remind readers to be true to themselves. An excellent addition to middle-grade collections. - Copyright 2025 Booklist.
