I read this book in 5th grade and I have been searching for this book and I finally found it. YAY!

I read this book when I was younger and really enjoyed reading it both then and now. It’s such an endearing book and you really fall in love with the characters. It’s definitely aimed more towards more middle-school-aged people so the writing was a bit juvenile for my taste at times, but it’s perfect for someone who is around 9-14 years old I think.

Was not much of a fan, but wasn't too bad.

It actually kept me up last night as I was eager to find out what happened in the end! Cute book for early middle school with an adventure, falling in love for the first time (in the sweetest possible way).

'My savvy hadn't come along yet. But I was only two days away from my very own thirteen dripping candles.' For Mibs Beaumont's family, the day of their thirteenth birthday could be an adventure or a disaster. It's when they get their savvy - an extra-special talent and know-how. Her brother Rocket is Mr Electric, he can send static shocks from the other side of the room, just for fun . . . But on Mibs's special day, their poppa lies in a coma in hospital and she has to reach him. The only way to get there is on the pink Bible bus, so, adventure or disaster, Mibs is getting on that bus. And who could guess what might happen then?

A vibrant new voice . . . a modern classic. For generations, the Beaumont family has harbored a magical secret. They each possess a “savvy”—a special supernatural power that strikes when they turn thirteen. Grandpa Bomba moves mountains, her older brothers create hurricanes and spark electricity . . . and now it’s the eve of Mibs’s big day. As if waiting weren’t hard enough, the family gets scary news two days before Mibs’s birthday: Poppa has been in a terrible accident. Mibs develops the singular mission to get to the hospital and prove that her new power can save her dad. So she sneaks onto a salesman’s bus . . . only to find the bus heading in the opposite direction. Suddenly Mibs finds herself on an unforgettable odyssey that will force her to make sense of growing up—and of other people, who might also have a few secrets hidden just beneath the skin.
