If you look up "savvy" in a dictionary, it means "understand." If you read the Newbery Honor book Savvy by Ingrid Law, you'll understand that for the Beaumont family a savvy is a special power, attained on the 13th birthday. When Mibs' father has a dreadful accident, Mibs thinks her savvy will wake him from unconsciousness. She sneaks on board the ancient bus of an unsuccessful Bible salesman and the adventures begin. Each chapter brings unpredictable predicaments and non-stop fun.
What books have you read where the character has a magical power? What magical power would you wish for if you had a choice?
