I just finished reading Savvy, a novel by Ingrid Law! Oh, let me slow down - I even forgot my greeting! Still, it was a very good book, and if I was deciding the Newbery, I would have voted this over The Graveyard Book. Oops! I wasn't supposed to tell you about that review that is coming up soon.
Anyway, Savvy was about a family that has special powers. The family calls their powers their "savvy." In the book, Mibs, the main character, chances stowing away on a rickety bus to try to save her father, who had been in an accident.
That day, she was going to find out what her savvy was, and she convinced herself that it would save here father.
She finds love, sadness, and almost every other emotion after the bus ends up going in the wrong direction.
Law wrote a wonderful tale of happiness and sadness, love and affection, cruelty and loneliness.
4.8/5
