Savvy

A Newbery Honor Book

Thirteen is when a Beaumont's savvy hits-and with one brother who causes hurricanes and another who creates electricity, Mibs Beaumont is eager to see what she gets. But just before the big day, Poppa is in a terrible accident. And now all Mibs wants is a savvy that will save him. In fact, Mibs is so sure she'll get a powerful savvy that she sneaks a ride to the hospital on a rickety bus with her sibling and the preacher's kids in tow. After this extraordinary adventure-full of talking tattoos and a kidnapping-not a soul on board will ever be the same.
