About this ebook

A vibrant new voice . . . a modern classic.

For generations, the Beaumont family has harbored a magical secret. They each possess a “savvy”—a special supernatural power that strikes when they turn thirteen. Grandpa Bomba moves mountains, her older brothers create hurricanes and spark electricity . . . and now it’s the eve of Mibs’s big day.

As if waiting weren’t hard enough, the family gets scary news two days before Mibs’s birthday: Poppa has been in a terrible accident. Mibs develops the singular mission to get to the hospital and prove that her new power can save her dad. So she sneaks onto a salesman’s bus . . . only to find the bus heading in the opposite direction. Suddenly Mibs finds herself on an unforgettable odyssey that will force her to make sense of growing up—and of other people, who might also have a few secrets hidden just beneath the skin.

Ratings and reviews

This is one of my very very favorite books and I also love the creativity involved in the making of this book. This book is definitely up there with the "Eragon" series, And the "Skullduggery Pleasant" series. Oh and if possible you should try to add the other "sequel" I forgot what it was called but I read it as well and it was amazing. ..... it's not the one down below (Switch)

Mims is a sweet girl who is about to get a supper power or her savvy. She loves her normal savvyless dad a lot. Her big family includes toddler Gymspy, young Samson, windy fish, electrifying Rocket, and her perfect mom, who all have a savvy, such as making a storm, being perfect or being full of electricity. Savvy is about Mims who is turning 13 (that is when you get your Savvy), but her dad gets in a car wreck in Salina, which is far away from her. So Mims hops on a bus which she thinks is going to Salina, to save her dad with her new Savvy. This is a great book, full of action, with some romance. My favorite part was when Will, Mims friend, pulls Mims into the pool. What will Will do after he pulls her in the pool? Will Mims be able to save her dad? Read to find out.

I read it last year,and now I'm reading scumble! I luv this book and especially where she gets an adventure added to a teen romance and she gets the power to read minds while shes trying to save her father.luv it-Read it.u will not be disappointed.😁😀😃😄😊☺🌞👍
