MSBA nominee 2009-2010
I agree with Deanna's review that it was a bit of an X-Men ripoff. I thought it was good, but I'm not sure I would have picked it for a Newbery honor book.
Mibs wants nothing more than to turn 13 and get her very own savvy. However, a few days before her birthday, her father gets into a horrible accident. Mibs becomes convinced that she is the only thing that can wake her papa up, and she goes off on an adventure to do so. Some subtle romance and growing up occur during the trip.
