    Savvy by Ingrid Law tells the story of Mibs Beaumont, a young girl who discovers her magical "savvy" on her 13th birthday. As her family faces a crisis, Mibs embarks on an adventure to unlock her powers, learning about herself, family, and the true meaning of strength along the way.

    In the crisp spring night, the pro­tag­o­nist and their com­pan­ions fled a din­er, escap­ing the chaos inside. The relief of step­ping out­side was pal­pa­ble, with the sounds of cars akin to gen­tle waves, con­trast­ing the loud­ness of the restau­rant. As they nav­i­gat­ed through pot­holes towards an alley, the group stayed vig­i­lant for any pur­suers, par­tic­u­lar­ly Ozzie. How­ev­er, he seemed to remain behind, either over­whelmed by embar­rass­ment or the rem­nants of his pie inci­dent.

    A moment of reflec­tion struck as the pro­tag­o­nist noticed a des­ti­tute man by the dump­ster, prompt­ing a sense of sor­row. In a ges­ture of com­pas­sion, they placed their burg­er bas­ket and a cher­ished pur­ple rib­bon flower next to him, feel­ing a con­nec­tion that acknowl­edged his exis­tence. This small act sym­bol­ized aware­ness and empa­thy, con­trast­ing with the self-absorp­tion of their group.

    Upon return­ing to the bus, the lin­ger­ing buzz from the din­er was evi­dent among the friends. Yet Bob­bi, her demeanor calm yet prob­ing, silent­ly per­sist­ed, prompt­ing the nar­ra­tor to react. The inter­nal dia­logue was dis­rupt­ed by Fish, who sought clar­i­ty amidst Bobbi’s relent­less thoughts. The ten­sion built when Bobbi’s teas­ing esca­lat­ed, annoy­ing both the pro­tag­o­nist and Fish.

    As Lester wres­tled with the bus door while jug­gling stolen pie, the atmos­phere grew intense. Bob­bi play­ful­ly chal­lenged Fish, ignit­ing a fierce response from him. The scene inten­si­fied as a sud­den wind storm erupt­ed, swirling around them as Fish unleashed his pow­ers, cre­at­ing chaos and push­ing Bob­bi back.

    Amidst the stor­m’s fury, the pro­tag­o­nist remained untouched, shield­ed by Fish’s fierce gusts. This strik­ing con­trast high­light­ed their unique fam­i­ly dynam­ic. Bob­bi and Will Junior stood awestruck, final­ly grasp­ing the real­i­ty that the Beau­mont kids were not just different—they were extra­or­di­nary. The rev­e­la­tion sent rip­ples through their under­stand­ing of nor­mal­cy, show­cas­ing the pro­tag­o­nists’ remark­able abil­i­ties and their place in the world, regard­less of the chaos sur­round­ing them.
