The writing is almost completely devoid of real emotion rather, everything feels manufactured and forced. The characters and their savvies are not particularly interesting, and though the father is obviously in serious condition, I felt none of the kids' urgency for saving him. Despite being over 300 pages long, this book has absolutely nothing to say.
This is one of the books I most wanted to read when I started this project, but I'm sorry to have wasted my time.
It is only after she runs away, taking along two of her siblings and the local preacher's kids, and hitching a ride in a Bible salesman's bus, that she realizes perhaps she has misunderstood what her new power actually is. When she wakes up on her birthday, she is convinced that her savvy will be something that can save her dad from his coma. When their father is seriously hurt in an accident on the day before Mibs's thirteenth birthday, her savvy is all but forgotten by the rest of her family. In their family, when a child becomes a teenager, he or she develops a savvy, a supernatural power that enables them to do things like control the weather, capture radiowaves, or move mountains. Mississippi "Mibs" Beaumont and her siblings are different from other kids.
