Title: Savvy by Ingrid Law
Why I Started to Read This Book: My library has a “Dig Into Reading” 2013 Summer Reading Club. If I read different kinds of books, I’ll get a raffle ticket. If they pick my name out, I get a Nintendo DS! One of the types of books I was supposed to read was a Garden State Book Award (GSBA) nominee book. And this book is a GSBA nominee.
What is it About? It is about a girl named Mibs Beaumont turning 13.You are thinking “Yeah. So what?” But, when a Beaumont turns 13, they get a super power called a “Savvy”.
Mibs’ grandpa shakes the ground. One of her brothers makes electricity. Her other brother causes hurricanes. You might be wondering what power she got. Find out for yourself after reading the book!!
What Did I Like About This Book? I like that Mibs risked her life to save her dad. Oh right. I forgot to tell you. Her dad had an accident and is in the hospital.
What Didn’t I Like About This Book? Honestly, I found the beginning too boring and confusing.
Does This Belong On My Cool Lane Or Not? I have to admit, I first thought that if it was found on my Cool Lane, it would be arrested immediately by a cop. But I continued to read because I wanted to enter it for a raffle ticket. After I read a couple chapters, I decided that it should belong on my cool lane after all. Now that I think about it, it is hard to find a fantasy book that I don't like!

What Savvy Powers do you want? Just so you know... girls don't have such powerful Savvies.
DeleteThis happens with me so many times that I start reading a book and don't like it for the first few chapters - and then once the story picks up, I can't keep the book down anymore! I am glad that you kept your patience and finished the whole book - otherwise you would have missed a great story :-)
ReplyDeleteYou are right. I would have missed a great story :-)
