This book is very well written.
In the Beaumont Family, when a child turns 13 he or she gets a special power called a Saavy.
Grandpa's Saavy is that he can move the earth. Mother can do everything the right way - but also mess up the right way. Her brother Rocket has electricity at his fingertips, and Fish can create any kind of storm.
It is Mibs' 13th birthday. But right before, her Poppa gets in an accident and he is in a coma. Mibs thinks that she can wake him up with her Saavy because she claims that she woke a dead turtle up. She stows away on a bus with some siblings and friends in tow, but at the intersection where right goes to Poppa and left goes to another state, the bus goes left.
And Mibs has to deal with the consequences.
