Age: 3rd-6th grade

When Mibs' thirteenth birthday arrives, she is greeted with an unexpected adventure when she must get to the hospital where her father is being held after a horrible car accident. She doesn't think that the beaten up school bus/delivery truck that her siblings and neighbors sneak onto will head in the opposite direction of the hospital. Mibs doesn't anticipate her emergence from a little girl to a teenager when her neighbor and fellow companion makes sweet gestures of interest towards her. But there is one thing that Mibs does expect to happen where many others may not: the emergence of her savvy--a superhuman unique trait.

This book deals with self-consciousness and -acceptance, family tragedy caused by a sudden trauma, and the unexpected questions that growing up brings into one's life. Written with a wonderful sense of flair (including an array of made-up words), Law provides a fantastical story that takes place in a boring setting in the middle of nowhere but focuses more on the relationships garnered by Mibs and the self-realization that she develops through them.
