He can’t quite control, or scumble, his savvy yet. For example, her oldest brother Rocket has a way with electricity. As a trait inherited from her mother’s side, Mibs can expect to develop some kind of super-power on her thirteenth birthday–which is right around the corner as this story opens.
Ingrid Law has a clear talent for unique stories, and I definitely want to read more of her works.Mibs, short for Mississippi Beaumont, belongs to a rather queer family. Though this book isn’t my favorite, Switch is full of delightfully sweet moments, hilarious adventures, and crucial themes. This makes the story drag in areas, though readers who enjoy a slower unfolding should have no issue with that. Though the plot is dynamic and engaging, some of the nuances between major points are slow. Gypsy’s narration is sweet and humorous, and the adventure she goes on to save her grandmother is one you won’t forget. Though I haven’t read Law’s previous two books in the Savvy companion series, everything is mostly explained in the beginning, so readers can easily pick this one up without having prior background information. Ingrid Law captures the complex emotions and circumstances that come with living with a grandparent with Alzheimer’s, as well as developing a touching friendship between Gypsy and a young boy who loves makeup. Switch is an adorable story with incredibly important themes.
When her birthday arrives, her savvy turns out to be something she never expected she can see visions of the past and future! Gypsy barely has time to adjust to her savvy when her grandmother comes to stay with her family, and everyone’s savvies start changing, and one rescue mission will turn into a night of mishap and adventure.
She can’t wait to find out what special fun her savvy, also known as her magical ability, will be. Gypsy Beaumont has been waiting for her thirteenth birthday for a long time.
