Savvy by Ingrid Law
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Ingrid Law uses the "everyone wishes they could wake up and be someone else" theory for this book. The characters in the world she has created have a special talent that appears on their thirteenth birthday.
Savvy, her first book, won a Newbery Honor. It is a wonderful story about a girl who turns thirteen amidst tragedy and confusion in her family. She gains her savvy, but it isn't what she at first thinks. Then as she and a group of others hitchhike, they learn about themselves and grow as people and friends.
This is a great book for young teens, and younger. I suppose even adults like me would enjoy it. I would recommend this book for preteens and teens who like to use their imagination and dream of waking up with new abilities.
