Savvy

by Ingrid Law

The Beaumont family has a secret. When they turn 13, they get a "savvy," a special, (and kind of magical) skill. Two days from 13, Mibs has no idea what hers will be. Her brother summons storms with his every emotion, and her  mother gets everything she tries just right without making mistakes. Her grandma can capture radio shows in glass jars.  On this most eventful of weeks, Mibs and her family suffer a terrible blow, finding out that Poppa has been in an accident, and is in the hospital, unresponsive. On her birthday, she thinks her savvy has revealed itself, and is hopeful that she can use it to save Poppa. But first she's got to get to the hospital in Salina. Mibs, and an unlikely group of colorful characters, end up on a pink Bible bus going the wrong direction, but that's where the fun begins!
