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)

Honestly, I wanted to scream when I was done with the book. I might've a little, though... I didn't want to finish it. Beautifully written, but a few mispelling and incorrect grammar. But I don't like to point out the flaws, because this book seemes like it didn't REALLY have any. Plus, Ingrid deserves that Newbery Honor Award. For anything and everything. Anyway, AMAZING! BEAUTIFUL! GREAT! FANTASTIC! OUTSTANDING!

I love the book I started it just two days ago and since I'm so intrested I'm already on page 122 yet a 30 book that I wasn't interested in took me three weeks to finish 😻😻😻😻😻😻😻Savvy and Scumble forever
