Savvy////this about a girl called mibs Beaumont and her 13th birthday ok so mibs is about to turn 13which means she gets her savvy (a magical power)but she is scared because her grandpa's savvy moves mountain and her brothers caused hurricanes! 😝😂😂I would be scared to!!!!😂😂I didn't enjoy the book sadly 😐 to kinda recommend it to teens and I rate it 2stars 😁 😁 😶 😶 😐 😐
Mibs “Mississippi” Beamount can’t wait until she turns 13. In the Beamount family, turning 13 means receiving your Savvy - a cool, family superpower that can be scumbled and controlled! However, Papa gets injured in a car crash, and Mibs can’t enjoy her birthday party at all! After all, her mother, father, and elder brother cannot attend it. With the power of friendship, Mibs, Will, who has a small- but not that small crush on Mibs, Bobbi, who is the teen who is better than she seems, Fish, Mib’s older by a year brother, and finally little Samson, Mib’s small brother, jump back in the truck of a man. The truck was apparently going to where Mib’s father currently is in the hospital. Sadly, the ride was much longer - and confusing - then they thought it will be, especially when Mibs can’t scumble her Savvy! Do you like stories with EPIC adventures? Well, you came to the right story!
Mibs Beaumont just knows that when she turns thirteen he savvy will be something BIG, bigger than Rocket's sparks or maybe even bigger than Fish's hurricanes!, but it all changes when Mib's beloved poppa ends up in the midst of a huge 10 car pile-up all she wants now is a savvy that will save poppa.
This is an AMAZING book if your into weird/magical things. It has very creative characters and lots of adventure. I personally loved this book and I totally recommend it to anyone thinking about reading it. Mibs- the main character gets very well developed along with other members of her family. Once you're done with this you can read scrumble the sequel to savvy; but it is not as good as the first one.
This was an amazing story! It had everything: a little adventure, some romance, and great characters too. It makes you want to have your very own special savvy.
The main characters name is Mibs. She has a special family. When anyone in the family turn 13, they get a secret power. Her brother, Fish has the power to start hurricanes, her grandma can catch soundwaves and Mibs other brother, Rocket can keep the electricity flowing even during a blackout. On her 13th birthday, Mibs decides to find a way to get to Salina, Kanas because she needs to get to her dad(who suffered a car crash). She believes that her savvy is that she can wake things up. She sneaks onto a bus with Fish, Samson(her little brother), Bobbi and Will Junior(Mrs. Rosemary’s son and daughter). Later, a ALERT! MISSING! ALERT came up on the news. They meet the driver, Lester Swan. He has two tattoos. One that says Rhonda and another one that says Carlene. Right then, Mibs learned that she can read minds, only if the person has ink on them. Mibs could read Carlene and Rhonda fighting in her head. Little did Mibs know that it would take 1 day to get to Salina. Lester picks up a woman named Lill. She works in a diner with a very mean and rude manager. She loses her job and the manager gives her all the money from the cash register. The whole group finds a motel to sleep at. After that, Lester goes to give something to Carlene. Fish took Samson to the bathroom and returns. Carlene realized that Bobbi, Mibs, Samson, Fish and Will junior are the ALERT! MISSING! ALERT kids from the news. She starts to call the police while Samson hides. Everyone forgot about Samson and told Lester to hit the rode… until they realize Samson is back at Carlene’s house. They drive back and start looking for Samson. When they couldn’t find him, they asked Carlene. she told them that he was in the wall storage. The police came and told Mibs that she could go to Salina. In the end, everyone was happy. My favorite part is when Mib’s dad recovered from the accident. My favorite character is Mibs. Her Savvy is so cool. She can read minds!!!!! But, I also feel bad about her because of her dad. She had all these people bully her because of her name. I recommend this book to anyone who doesn’t give up.
The Book Savvy is wonderful book about family, adventure, weird abilities and love. When I read Savvy I magically got lured into the world of Ingrid Law. She is one of my favorite authors. I loved Savvy so much that I have even read Scumble which also another terrific book.
