Savvy

Savvy is a great book!  I recommend it because it’s full of adventure and creativity.  Mississippi’s father gets hurt in a car accident, Mibs Mother and oldest brother, Rocket go to Salina Hope Hospital to see her father.  On Mibs 13th birthday, she saw a pink bible supply bus from Salina, so she decided to climb aboard with Will Jr. and Bobbi tagging along behind.  Fish, Mibs brother found them on the bus and decided to join them.  Lester, the bus driver climbed aboard and started on his way, until he stopped and found the stow-a-ways.  Lester was upset, but agreed to let the kids travel with him to Salina.  Along the way they came across a broken down car.  Lester tried to help Lill, but could not fix the car, so he told her to join them on the bus and she did just that.  Lill brought everyone to the diner where she works to get them a bite to eat.  When they arrived at the Emerald Truck Stop Diner and Lounge they had a bite to eat and the Great and Powerful Ozzie fired Lill.  They got back on the road and found a hotel to spend the night.  And with the money Lill had left, she bought food, clothing and swim suits for everyone.  The next day Lester had to drop off some money to his boss Carlene, and then Carlene found out that the kids traveling with Lester were reported missing.  So Carlene called 911.  When the police arrived they spoke with Lester and Lill, and that’s when Will Jr.’s secret was reveled, his father was not the pastor, but a police officer.  Once everyone understood the missing understanding, the children were allowed to travel in the pink bible supply bus to Salina Hope Hospital to see Mibs father.  When they arrived a Salina Hope Hospital the rest of Mibs family was waiting for them.  Mibs finally got to see her father.
