Mibs Beaumont is turning 13. This is her special birthday when she gets her “savvy”. In her family, each member gets their savvy at the age of 13. Her brothers’ savvies work with electricity and water. No one knows what Mibs will be. Then the unthinkable happens. Mibs father is in an accident and is in the hospital. At Mibs makeshift birthday party, that she did not want, she ends up running away, with her brothers and the pastor’s kids, to find her father and wake him up in the hospital. Through many adventures Mibs learns how wrong she was about her savvy and how everyone has a little savvy in their lives, maybe not as big as those in her family, but there nonetheless.
