This is one of my very very favorite books and I also love the creativity involved in the making of this book. This book is definitely up there with the "Eragon" series, And the "Skullduggery Pleasant" series. Oh and if possible you should try to add the other "sequel" I forgot what it was called but I read it as well and it was amazing. ..... it's not the one down below (Switch)

Mims is a sweet girl who is about to get a supper power or her savvy. She loves her normal savvyless dad a lot. Her big family includes toddler Gymspy, young Samson, windy fish, electrifying Rocket, and her perfect mom, who all have a savvy, such as making a storm, being perfect or being full of electricity.
Savvy is about Mims who is turning 13 (that is when you get your Savvy), but her dad gets in a car wreck in Salina, which is far away from her. So Mims hops on a bus which she thinks is going to Salina, to save her dad with her new Savvy.
This is a great book, full of action, with some romance. My favorite part was when Will, Mims friend, pulls Mims into the pool.
What will Will do after he pulls her in the pool? Will Mims be able to save her dad? Read to find out.
