When I picked up the book called Savvy I confess, I was attracted by the cover. The title was also intriguing
because the word "savvy" to me, means very knowledgeable. As it turns out, though, Savvy is actually a very special ability or gift that is given to members of the Beaumont family when each person turns 13. This superpower gift is both a good thing and a somewhat bad thing.....
Just before her thirteenth birthday, one of the main characters, Mibs learns that her father has been badly injured in a car accident. He is hospitalized and her mother and older brother Rocket leave the rest of the family with the preacher's wife and go to stay with the dad.
