Together they go on an interstate spree of matchmaking, weather control, and freaky savvy-related happenings. But when her birthday comes, she starts–whoops! I almost spoiled it for you! But really, how is this savvy going to be any good for Mibs and her family? Before she finds out, Mibs will have an adventure on a pink bus full of Bibles, together with two of her brothers and the local minister’s runaway brats. Mibs prays that her savvy will help Poppa wake up. Or maybe so she can come to the rescue of her Poppa, who has been in a coma since his car accident a few days before Mibs’ birthday. She hopes her savvy will be a real knock-out, maybe so she can show the mean girls at school a thing or two. The kids are all home-schooled from the age of 13.Īnd now it’s about to be Mibs’ turn. With gifts like these, it’s no wonder the Beaumonts lead a private, secluded family life.

They have their Grandpa to thank for that his savvy is causing new land to come into existence. This is why the family had to move from the Gulf Coast to the relatively waterless region between Kansas and Nebraska, which the Beaumonts call Kansaska at some times and Nebransas at others. All it takes is a little slip, and Fish can cause a hurricane. The next younger Beamont sibling is Mibs’ brother Fish, who has a similar power over the weather. So, when Rocket gets upset, anything can happen from popping lightbulbs to widespread blackouts. 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. Mibs, short for Mississippi Beaumont, belongs to a rather queer family.
