This book was great! Mississippi Beaumont is not the kind of girl that most people make friends with though you might call her weird. She and her family are very out of the ordinary. The Beaumont family is a family of ordinary people who have extraordinary supernatural powers. They get these powers when they turn thirteen. But, Just days before Mibs' (Mississippi) special day, her father gets into a accident and her brother and mother have to go to see him leaving Mibs with a family friend. She goes on a journey to see her father with her brothers and two kids. Which she finds she has fallen for a boy. I recommend this book to anyone!!

I have tried to finish this book many times and I have finally done it. It was a very unusual book.. The characters were a little strange. Some parts of this book were very confusing.

This book was great! I highly recommend it to 4th grade-8th grade readers. Mississippi Beaumont is not the kind of girl that most people make friends with. You might call her weird. She and her family are very out of the ordinary. The Beaumont family is a family of ordinary people who have extraordinary supernatural powers. They get these powers when they turn thirteen. But, Just days before Mibs' (Mississippi) special day, her dad gets himself landed in the hospital after a freak car crash. On her birthday, Mibs' dad is still unconscious. And when she gets her magical power, her savvy, she knows she's got to go help him. It's a great book. I picked it up and couldn't put it down!

This book was super great. Mississippi Beaumont is a girl with her problems to deal with like everyone in the world has their own set of conflicts they have to figure out. The problems Mississippi (a.k.a Mibs) has to figure out are tougher. She's turning thirteen-the age of which all the Beaumont children receive their savvy-their special ability. But that birthday wasn't like your typical thing you would think of because you'd think that all Beaumont's thirteenth birthdays were cursed with all the mess-ups from the past of Mibs's older siblings. Before he birthday, a heavy burden falls on her when her family is called to report her father was involved in a truck accident and was still unconscious in the Salina Hospital. That's when her mom and her oldest brother, Rocket with a savvy of electricity, take off to Salina leaving behind a family friend to watch over the remaining children including Mibs. On the day of her birthday, Mibs just by coincidence wakes up her younger sister, Gyspy, and her brother's hibernating turtle. This all misleads Mibs thinking that her savvy was waking other people/animals wake up. The thirteen year-old gets an idea of using her savvy to save her father which just throws her and a bunch of others into a tangle of problems and adventures. But an adventure is an adventure. An adventure has its share of difficulties and surprises with their secrets. As the book continues on, slowly Mibs starts realizing that her savvy wasn't what she really thought of it to be. It wasn't something that was going to save her father, but it was going to save someone else that was just as important. She starts figuring out that her true savvy is whenever someone has ink on their skin, she can read their minds. This discovery was not a good thing. So Mibs, couldn't wake her father up with her savvy, but she helped other people with their problems. She helps someone realize that they're not cooped up like a kid anymore and that they're free to do what they want to do. She helps her own brother find his color of paint to control and tone down his wild savvy of hurricanes. I won't tell you what happens with her and her fellow travelers, Bobbi and Will Junior (Miss. Rosemary's children-or are they?), her second oldest brother fish, and her younger brother Samson. I won't tell who they meet along the way. I don't want you to read this summary and think you know all about the story. I want you to wonder what's going to happen. I want you to find the book and open up the book and read. Because a thrilling story awaits you waiting to be read, waiting to share the magic of mysteries and secrets, and to tell you that everyone has a talent to show the world that will help others, especially you.

The Beaumonts are a unique and unusual family. Each Beaumont, on their 13th birthday, get their inherited savvy. A savvy is a special ability like a superpower. All the savvy's are different, and can be anythingOne of Mibs's brothers causes storms and another generates electricity, and neither is able to control his savvy too well yet. Now Mibs is about to turn thirteen, and they all wonder what her savvy will be. But just before her birthday, her father is in a car accident, and now lies in a coma in the hospital. And Mibs just hopes that whatever her savvy is, it will be something that can save him.

This is and AMAZING BOOK!!! So, this book is about a girl, and on the 13th birthday of everyone in the family (it's been going on for a very long time) the develop a power, or their Savvy. The main character, her birthday is crazy and she worries that she won't get a savvy, but it comes at last, and she is sort of happy, but there are some problems and sometimes her gift is not always good. But this is an EXCELLENT BOOK, and I think EVERYONE should read it!!!!
