The book 'Savvy' is a book I encountered about a year ago in Pennsylvania, when I was in a reading olympic which was a contest-sort of festival held at my school library.
This book is about a girl called Mississippi(mibs) her brother Fish, a boy named Will that has a crush on Mibs and her supposedly-sister, Bobbi.
All of mib's family has a special power that they call savvy. It is magic, and all their savvies are different. Fish's savvy is being able to control water, and Mib's oldest brother, Rocket has a power to control electricity. Her mother has a savvy to be perfect, her grandfather has a savvy to move earth, (ground, mountains), and her dead grandmother had a savvy to catch music and sounds and put them in a jar. But her father is a normal person who doesn't have any savvies.
They are supposed to get their savvies when they're thirteen. On the day before Mib's thirteenth's birthday, her dad gets into a car accident that cause him to get in a coma. The doctors say they don't know when he will wake up or whether he will ever wake up. Her mother and Rocket instantly leaves for a hospital in Salvina (i don't remeber the exact name). Mibs and fish gets in care of the preacher's wife and their two children, Will and Bobbie.
Mibs has her 13th birthday party in a church. She doesn't want to be there, and when she had the chance, she runs out with Fish, Bobbie and Will into a bible sell truck. Then they met Lester and Lil and different characters. This book is about Mibs finding herself along with her savvy. Of course, it ends with her father waking up, but you can't really imagine what the next chapter will be about.
