Publisher's summary

A Newbery Honor recipient

Thirteen is when a Beaumont’s savvy hits - and with one brother who causes hurricanes and another who creates electricity, Mibs Beaumont is eager to see what she gets. But just before the big day, Poppa is in a terrible accident. And now, all Mibs wants is a savvy that will save him. In fact, Mibs is so sure she’ll get a powerful savvy that she sneaks a ride to the hospital on a rickety bus with her sibling and the preacher’s kids in tow. After this extraordinary adventure - full of talking tattoos and a kidnapping - not a soul on board will ever be the same.

Critic reviews

"A quirky feel-good narrative with a homespun warmth." (Sunday Times)

"The countrified fantasy elements are great fun, and Mibs' tenderness towards her father and other storm-tossed characters is touchingly real." (Seattle Post-Intelligencer)

I liked all the characters and the plot, the kiss the love and the powers.

More than stands the test of time

This book was one of my absolute favorites as a kid. Decided to download it on a whim as an adult, and oh my gosh, it was such a pleasant surprise. While it’s definitely aimed toward a younger audience, I would still absolutely recommend it to all ages. It’s a wonderful coming-of-age story with fairly simple fantasy elements, but the characters are so lovable, the plot is compelling, and the writing is great. I’m so glad I gave it another read.

I also think it’s worth mentioning that the entire story isn’t flowers and roses. There are some really bittersweet moments that add so much to the story and to each of the characters’ arcs.

I cannot recommend this enough. Great for kids, teens, and even adults. Heartwarming and complex enough to be engaging for older readers without leaving younger readers feeling overwhelmed or bored.

So much love for this book ❤️
