Savvy

Reading level: Ages 9-12,Language: English, Audio CD, Mibs (short for Mississippi) is a wonderful character who turns 13 in the beginning of the story. it is an important age for anyone but especially for the Beaumonts, who find out at 13 what their "savvy" is. her brother Rocket can create electricity. her brother Fish can make hurricanes. her grandfather can move mountains. now it's her turn. but her father gets into an accident, turning everything upside down and sending them on an adventure that teaches them some hard life lessons. it's a refreshing story about growing up, about being different, about listening to your voice instead of others around you to figure out who you are. i especially love the message that we shouldn't be in such a hurry to grow up.the story moves along quickly and vividly due to Ingrid Law's use of language and illiteration: "like the ticks and tocks of a clock", "with a zest and a zing and a zeal", "hurly-burly fluster of truth telling", the ending is touching.
