Savvy

Who wouldn't want their own savvy? Mibs'(short for Mississippi) oldest brother Rocket's savvy is electrifying and her other brother, Fish has a water problem but what will Mibs' savvy be? She waits for her all important thirteenth birthday to find out. But things don't go as planned, her father is in a serious car accident and all that Mibs can think about is getting to her father to help him get well. Her siblings and children of a pastor and his wife (who are caring for them in her parents' absence) have quite the adventure. You will never look at a pink bus in the same way again!
