What is a Savvy?
What is a savvy you may ask, it is a magical power that is bestowed upon a Beaumont family member when they turn 13. It isn't a known power it just shows up, whether it is liked or not. It is the allure of becoming a teenager. Some family members have the powers to change the weather, some have the power of doing everything perfectly. Mibs is the main character in this story who is awaiting her magical power but it isn't what she expects as she begins an adventure to try and save her father. Sounds interesting, then read Savvy by Ingrid Law.
Scumble by Ingrid Law, is the companion novel to Savvy. It is nine years later, and Mib's cousin, Ledger is about to turn 13 and receive his power. Ledger wants his savvy to be the ability to run the fastest but instead he receives a savvy that wrecks havoc on everything and everyone that gets in his way. A great read that will keep you hooked throughout the story.
