Review # 1 was written on 2011-05-28 00:00:00 Jean-claude Mass� The book Savvy by Ingrid Law is a fantastic fantasy novel.It's about a girl named Mibs who is turning thirteen, and in her family, turning into a teenager means that she will receive her special ability called a Savvy. It's a great novel filled with a bunch of fun adventures. In the book Savvy Mibs lives between Nebraska and Kansas, she is no ordinary girl. In her family at the age of thirteen everybody gets their Savvy. On her older brothers thirteenth birthday his savvy was to control electricity, and her other brother named Fish, is able to control the weather. Everybody in her family seems to have a Savvy except her dad, but her thirteenth birthday is coming soon and she is very excited about her Savvy. What will Mibs's Savvy be? Will she be strong enough? Ingrid Law is mind blowing! She's a great storyteller. Her characters are very delightful and Interesting. Ingrid Law handled this story perfectly,there were so many twist's in this story and great imagery.I could NOT put this books down, it was mesmerizing . In the end this book left you wanting more! The message of this book is, don't be in a hurry to grow up.I agree with this because, us as young students can't wait to get out of school, but we should stop trying to grow so fast and enjoy being young. We should just enjoy the little fun things before we have to grow up get jobs and pay bills, that's no fun! In conclusion this book really interested me, and raised multiple questions in my mind, such as "What would my Savvy be?" and "Would my Savvy be life changing?" I would really recommend this book to elementary students and above. This book will change your perspective on how you view life as a young child, and maybe you'll end up having a great journey along the way.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-08-11 00:00:00 Will Sleeper Meh. I wanted to like Savvy, but it felt manipulative and overwritten to me... the same vibe I got from The Underneath and The Higher Power of Lucky. This one, not surprisingly, is a Newbery contender as well. A florid style, faux vernacular, and over-the-top alliteration (and cutesy vocabulary) does not equal literary merit! I felt like it lacked both strength and authenticity. The story itself could have stood on its own, and with a different writing style I might have enjoyed it. I like stories of adolescents coming into a hereditary talent or power, though that's hardly an original idea. And I enjoy stories with strong families. But the bulky writing had me rolling my eyes the whole time, keeping me from enjoying the potentially exciting plot. I can't think of a single child I can give this to. I can think of some parents who might luxuriate in it as a read-aloud, and children perhaps enjoying it that way. I've heard only good reviews of this, though, and from friends and colleagues I greatly respect -- so my dislike of it is probably a matter of taste.
