Did you ever wish that you could have magical powers? If you were part of the Beaumont family, you would get your powers or "saavy" sometime while you are in middle school - at the age of 13.
This is what happens to Mibs Beaumont. However, one problem, you don't always get the type of magical power you want, plus you need to learn how to control your saavy before interacting with the public. This means that Beaumont children are home schooled once they turn 13 until they learn how to control their saavy. Mibs doesn't have a problem with this. She doesn't like her school anyway.
Mibs is hoping her saavy is something that will help their dad. He was in a tragic car accident and is in the hospital.
This book is told by Mibs and is a coming of age story with a little fantasy thrown in for good measure. Readers looking for a fantasy story that could possibly double and realistic fiction will like this book.
This book is a Newbery honor book for 2009.
