Publisher's Summary
A Newbery Honor recipient
Thirteen is when a Beaumont’s savvy hits - and with one brother who causes hurricanes and another who creates electricity, Mibs Beaumont is eager to see what she gets. But just before the big day, Poppa is in a terrible accident. And now, all Mibs wants is a savvy that will save him. In fact, Mibs is so sure she’ll get a powerful savvy that she sneaks a ride to the hospital on a rickety bus with her sibling and the preacher’s kids in tow. After this extraordinary adventure - full of talking tattoos and a kidnapping - not a soul on board will ever be the same.
What the critics say
"A quirky feel-good narrative with a homespun warmth." (Sunday Times)
"The countrified fantasy elements are great fun, and Mibs' tenderness towards her father and other storm-tossed characters is touchingly real." (Seattle Post-Intelligencer)
