![]() ![]() But, like one of Fish's storms, all of the events and journeys and delightfully quirky characters and, indeed, the entire story, revolve around one central point - Mibs's father, lying silently in the hospital. ![]() Mibs's own strange savvy, which won't be revealed here, is not at all what she thinks it is, and comes with a powerful emotional component of its own. Her mother's savvy is to do everything perfectly, which is not anywhere near as good as it sounds. The storms caused by her older brother, Fish, are reflections of his emotions. Mibs's little brother Samson may have come into his savvy early - he is overwhelmed by the emotions of others, spending most of his time hiding in closets and under tables, but his gentle touch can make anyone feel better. Rarely, if ever, has magic been this emotionally fraught and moving. First, perhaps, is her gentle touch with magic. There are so many things first-time author Ingrid Law gets right here that it's hard to know where to start. ![]()
