Turning 13 is never easy, bodies are changing, emotions are racing and the world becomes a different place. There is an added layer of complication for the Beaumonts. On their 13th birthday, they get their savvy.
Heartwarming and honest, this book chronicles Mibs Beaumont as she leaves childhood and enters the unknown territory of being a teenager. A savvy is a talent unique to each individual, but getting it can be complicated and dangerous. Mibs and her family are unsure what will happen on her 13th birthday. Unfortunately Mibs father is injured and her birthday is overshadowed by events out of her control. The physical journey Mibs, her brother and new friends embark on is parallel to the changes taking place inside. When the bus finally arrives at the hospital in Salina no one is the same.
This book full of a special kind of magic, but rooted in reality. Do savvys really exist? Do we each have a special gift or talent that makes us unique? Savvy reinforces the fact that we are all unique and gifted in our own way and can create our own brand of magic.
