Savvy Ingrid Law



                                                                 Savvy Ingrid Law
about the book: For generations, the Beaumont family has harbored a magical secret. They each possess a "savvy" — a special supernatural power that strikes when they turn thirteen. Grandpa Bomba moves mountains, her older brothers create hurricanes and spark electricity... and now it's the eve of Mibs's big day.
As if waiting weren't hard enough, the family gets scary news two days before Mibs's birthday: Poppa has been in a terrible accident. Mibs develops the singular mission to get to the hospital and prove that her new power can save her dad. So she sneaks onto a salesman's bus... only to find the bus heading in the opposite direction. Suddenly Mibs finds herself on an unforgettable odyssey that will force her to make sense of growing up — and of other people, who might also have a few secrets hidden just beneath the skin.

the review: This was a very inspiring story about a girl who would do anything for her family. Even go running across the state with a bible salesman that has some serious problems just to see her father again.
And stack on top of that the fact that it was the day she found her Savvy the special power that everyone in her family got on their 13th birthday.
This book really shows you what family is all about right down to the fact that even though your siblings might annoy you to the ends of the earth you would still go to the ends of the earth to help them and protect them. I love the family values that this book displays and would recommend it to all book lovers.
Remember a book a day keeps boredom away.
