The Beaumont family has kept a remarkable secret for many centuries. Every one of them has a "savvy," a unique supernatural ability that manifests around their thirteenth birthday. It's the eve of Mibs's big day. Her elder brothers cause storms and ignite electricity. Grandpa Bomba moves mountains.
Two days before Mibs's birthday, the family receives terrifying news—Poppa has been in a tragic accident—as if waiting weren't difficult enough. Mibs devises a unique plan to reach the hospital and demonstrate to the staff that her dad can be saved by her newfound ability. Thus, she boards a salesman's bus covertly only to discover that it is traveling the other way. Mibs suddenly finds herself on an incredible journey that will test her ability to understand maturing and other people, some of whom may also be hiding a few secrets behind the surface.
