**A Newbery Honor Book
**
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.
