I checked Savvy by Ingrid Law out of the library and am enjoying it immensely. Mibs is about to turn thirteen, and in her unusual family that is the day they each get their “savvy,” something special they are able to do. One of her brothers can affect electricity; another can bring windy, rainy weather. No one knows what Mibs will be able to do on her birthday. Then her father is badly injured in a car accident two days before her birthday and all Mibs can think about is if he will get well. An exceptional, touching story deserving of the Newbery Honor it received last year.
