The Beaumonts are a unique family. As each kid hits the age of 13, their inherent power comes to light. They call this talent, "SAVVY." When the Beaumonts celebrate, lucky 13, everyone waits to see what will happen. No matter what, a savvy is one birthday gift you can't return. Rocket can create electricity, Fish can make hurricanes, Grandfather can move mountains, now its Mibs turn. But, her father gets into an accident, turning everything upside down, sending them on an adventure that teaches them some hard life lessons.
Its a refreshing story about growing up, about being different and listening to your own voice in figuring out who you are. I really liked the message that we shouldn't be in such a big hurry to grow up.
This book is a treat for all ages. From start to finish, its a fun journey. I hope that Ingrid Law will continue the story and write a series with these characters.....one is not enough!
Yea Kathy!!! So glad to read your review! I loved Savvy too. It is special and I agree, the characters were delightfully real, with flaws and insecurities amidst the amazing unfolding of their natural gifts (such universal truth in that). Isn't it interesting that this is the author's first published work? I'm with you- bring on more Savviness! ;)
