Savvy

This book is thoroughly delightful, fun and sweet. I don't even care that it's written at the reading level of a ten year old.

The language does have a nice cadence and is fluid and descriptive despite being so simple. The plot is fun and surprising. The savvies are interesting and give the story that little edge into wonderful. But the thing I love are the characters. All of them are well developed and endearing.

I instantly loved the Beaumonts and their beautiful savvies even when they wreak a little havoc. I also love the fantastically peculiar perspective on the world those savvies give them. I loved the sweet natured Will and was willing to cut rebellious Bobbi some slack until I liked her, which of course I did. And even though he barely speaks I sort of loved Samson.

I was surprised by how much I liked this book, but I really enjoyed it.
