Review: Great find! - This book I did judge by its cover. I was browsing in my local book store when this book's colorful cover caught my eye. So, for father's day I received a copy of this book and have since had the wonderful opportunity to read it. Mibs and her family all receive a "power" on their 13th birthday. This power is called their Savvy. These powers can range from the all mighty to the subtle. A few days Mibs father is in a serious car accident and is taken to a distant hospital for care. The morning of her 13th birthday she discovers that her Savvy is waking things up. With this new found power she sets out to awake her father at any costs only to find out her power might not be what it seems. The books time period seems to be in the 50's where moms were still Suzie Homemaker moms and church had an edge of snob to it. It is also written in 1st person and some of the words Mibs uses are very creative and fun. This book was quick to get to the plot going and carried well throughout the whole book straight to its almost tearful conclusion. It reminded me a bit of X-Men with the powers but at the same time unique enough to not draw conclusions. Some of the other family members powers are really unique and interesting once thought about. This is a really short book and it's a fun ride while reading it. Later this month the second installment of this book comes out and I anxiously await its arrival. Ingrid Law definitely deserved the award for this book because of its unique characters, time setting, creativity and heartwarming story. If you have a few hours check this book out. Its worth the time. Review: Savvy - Savvy is a great book about the Beaumont family who gets their savvy. A savvy is a gift that these Beaumont kids get wen they turn thirteen, you could get the savvy of wind or electricity also the savvy of being perfect. But it takes a while to control a savvy. Well when Mississippi or Mibs turns thirteen and gets her savvy she goes on a long trip with Will, and Bobby the preacher's kids. Will is very polite and Bobby well she is the complete opposite of Will and her perents .So you can imagine all the trouble they get into. Well lets just say Mibs savvy involves a stuck up teenager, a big pink bus, and ink? I acutely did not find much of the book unentertaining. It was very enjoyable maybe if the book were a little longer it would have been more pleasant. Something I did not enjoy was the beginning it was to dull I was actually having second thoughts of reading the book in the beginning. Also if the book did not mention her siblings as much because I felt like the mentioned Gypsy a lot. But other than those little things I love the book! I think Ingrid Law is an amazing writer and always includes tons of imagination and adventures to her books witch makes everything so much more exiting and creative. This book is absolutely, incredibly; amazingly, fantastic I recommend this book to anyone who loves adventure, craziness, and a little romance! (Hmmm I bet you could imagine who it could be!) Also if you are anything like me you will also want a savvy! -Ashley N.

Pretty good!
I didn't really dislike ANYTHING I thought the author was great i mean it wasn't exactly my style but I thought I would try something new! If you like fantasy and superpowers and happy endings overall this book would be for you! You could tell the author was a good author, the author was good at explaining things AND leaving the readers on small cliffhangers! I did enjoy it and I might be checking out more books from this author after my 1000000000 other books I have to read for this competition that frankly is annoying 🙄. I mean this thing i HAVE to do is literally just boring it IS making you try out new books and- OH WAIT I'M SUPPOSED TO DO A REVIEW INSTEAD OF RANTING SORRY! Well the book was great so yeah! Hope you have a good day, night or evening!😘😘😘😅😅😅

THIS STORY YOU WILL NEVER FORGET - HAVE FUN!
Ingrid Law has captured a story that the reader will not forget. I have read it several times (the entire series of three books), and have recommend it to everyone I know. It's magical, humorous, and just plan fun. Her unique way of writing keeps the reader turning the pages late into the night. There will be no "pushing" to get your child to read...they will beat you to the book and you will have to wait until they are tucked into bed to read it yourself. As the story grows from book to book, you will find that you MUST make time to read! So, enjoy and then loan the book to as many as you can! Ingrid Law...I'm waiting for your next continuing story of this interesting family!

Amazing book!
I’ve loved this book since I first read it, so I bought it to read with my little sister. It’s an amazing book about a family in which everyone gets some sort of magical power on their thirteenth birthday. I loved the characters (even though most of them were flat as a pancake) and would 100% recommend, especially for late elementary and early middle school.

Holy Cow..
For my summer reading project for school, this was one of the advanced fiction books I had to read. This book is great! You can't possibly not like the book. I read this book in 2 days, so only problem is that it's too short! :) It's plot twists and how well the book was written makes it a great family story, if you want to read it to your kids or something. This book is the kind of book that you read in a pillow fort, noticing the world around you change while you get drawn deeper and deeper into that book. (Trust me, it's nothing demonic.) I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a nice long book and that "less realistic but not so fictional" books. Y'know, the magical ponies and people flying away on dragons. I guess this is something believable! A couple of kids got on a bus and found out how to control their Savvy! Anyways, thanks for making this awesome book!

Un argumento original y con muchas posibilidades al que se le podría haber sacado más partido y mucha más punta.
