Savvy By Ingrid Law Sparknotes

For this trimesters’ AR assignment, I chose to read Savvy by Ingrid Law. Savvy is about a girl named Mibs Beaumont. Mibs is not like anyone else, in her family you gain a savvy on your thirteenth birthday. A savvy is like a power, or supernatural ability. Suddenly the Beaumont family is faced with another issue, besides a possibly dangerous savvy. Poppa gets into a car accident, and it could be deadly. Momma and the oldest Beaumont child, Rocket rush down to the Salina Hope Hospital where Poppa is in critical care, so the preacher's wife, Miss Rosemary unexpectedly comes to the Beaumont house to care for her and the other children. At first Mibs thinks her savvy is waking things up, so when Miss Rosemary throws her a birthday party at the church

Mibs a very detail oriented character, the details she notices give her important information, such as who Will Juniors real dad is. Mibs’ savvy is to read minds when people have ink on their skin. I think this could be good, for finding out secrets or questions, and bad if she hears something that she shouldn't for her own good. Mibs is selfless, because she risks her own safety for others. She was the original one who decided to get on that bus to save Poppa. Mibs is also caring, throughout the trip she cares for her younger brother Samson. She often feels responsible for everyone's safety. Mibs is also persistent. On the bus, Will Jr. tried to convince her to tell him her secret savvy, that she couldn't tell anyone, but she wouldn't let in no matter how hard it was for her. Mibs is incorporated in my game, because each of the players experience her trip to Salina, they experience the obstacles she went through. The antagonist is the car accident that Poppa got into. The car accident messes up Mibs’ most important birthday, and creates chaos. The car accident brings another antagonist to the mix, Charlene. Charlene is Lester's crazy ex girlfriend who is always trying to boss Lester around. When lester makes a pit stop at her trailer park to give her the money he owed her, she sees that there is a reward for the missing kids, and when they try to leave she hides Samson in her trailer, making them have to turn around to get him.

“Monday through Wednesday, we called our thin stretch of land Kansaska. Thursday through saturday, we called it Nabransas.” (page 3) This is the area between Kansas and Nebraska, and where the church is. My starting point in my game will be the party at the church. Another setting I will portray in my game in the Salina Hope Hospital. This is the hospital where Poppa is in his coma. In my game this will be the end
