Savvy is the new book from up and coming author author: Ingrid Law]. The book is an intriguing look into the life of an extra special family known as the Beaumont's. The Beaumont's are endowed with what they refer to as their own personal "Savvy," some type of supernatural power that they develop on or around their thirteenth birthday. The story focuses on the young protagonist Mississippi (Mibs) Beaumont who is rapidly approaching this fateful date. When her father is involved in a car accident, Mibs and her two brothers (along with a few tag-alongs) set out on a journey to visit their father in the hospital.

Savvy is a wonderful book aimed primarily at young adults, but also easily accessible to an older age group. It is a refreshingly original adventure story which appeals to the inner child inside of each of us. Both boys and girls will find themselves enthralled as they follow Mibs, her two eccentric brothers, as well as a host of other wacky characters on the road trip to end all road trips! While often hilarious and zany, Savvy remains grounded in the traditional wholesome family values we have come to expect from the Walden brand. The story combines just the right amount of humor and heart to make it one of the most engaging children's books of recent memory.
