Savvy by Ingrid Law

I first read Savvy in third grade and I have loved it ever since. Savvy is about Mibs, a twelve year old girl in what you might call an abnormal family. In her family, the Beaumonts, children will get their own superpower at thirteen years old. Mibs is excited  for birthday thirteen until disaster strikes. Mib's awesome father (he doesn't really have a savvy, but Mibs insists it's being awesome) gets in a horrible car crash and might not live.Now, all that Mibs wants is to save her dad.
Savvy is a great read for all ages. Its cousin, Scumble, is also great, but I would prefer reading Savvy. Even though Maximum Ride beat this, this is still a great book.  Buy Savvy on Amazon
P.S. I don't work for Amazon, I just trust it the most.

Maximum Ride: The series

Maximum Ride is an amazing book series. It stars a group of kids, and all of them don't know their parents. All they remember about their early life is that they were raised in the School, and while they were just babies they had avian DNA inserted in them. They grew wings and had other non-human properties about them. A scientist at the School named Jeb let them run free to live a free life, but the School sent Erasers (half human, half wolf creatures that run ten times faster than the average Joe) after the flock. They run, well, actually fly away, and find so much on their way to freedom.
I really love Maximum Ride because I learned that there really is something special in flying. I used to just think that flying was not a big deal, but after I read this,  I wondered if it was possible  to make a way for humans to fly like birds.This action-packed book is a must read for kids aged nine to ninety nine.
