The voice of this book is what pulled me in right away, along with the Beaumont family, who all discover their unique magical gift—their “savvy”—on their thirteenth birthday.

Special magical gifts within families isn’t a unique story concept, but Ingrid Law makes it feel fresh. I loved the folksy charm. I adored Mibs Beaumont from the very first page and rooted for her all the way to the end.

From Liesl's list on children’s books adults will also love.

Mibs (the main character) isn’t homeschooled yet, but she is about to be homeschooled with her older siblings. The characters felt like ones I would meet in my homeschool or church life. They felt comfortable.

But more than that, this book is just fun. I love the story and the characters so much, as well as the struggle to find what makes a person unique. The family bonds in Savvy are strong, and Mibs develops deep friendships with characters of all ages. It’s a special story, and one of my favorites. I am not doing it justice by half.
