OVERALL RATING 8/10
Exciting, likeable characters, heartwarming, real-life topics
I liked this book more and more as the story progressed! Although each family member having a different power is a popular premise, it was still fun to read and discover their individual 'savvies'. The adventure was really exciting, and the characters easy to fall in love with. Savvy includes many heartwarming family moments, and covers some real-life topics such as having a family member in the hospital, homelessness, and emotionally abusive relationships. A great read!
