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. 2596626 1 5 2008 Savvy total:1977|5:642|4:814|3:431|2:75|1:15| 1977 7924 3178 738 5 6 false false Fri Sep 26 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Nov 18 12:44:48 -0800 2008 Tue Nov 18 13:06:27 -0800 2008 Savvy is the new book from up and coming author author: Ingrid Law].
