Bookends: Savvy by Ingrid Law (Penguin, 2008)
http://mibookends.blogspot.com/2009/01/savvy-by-ingrid-law-penguin-2008.html
Tuesday, January 6, 2009. Savvy by Ingrid Law (Penguin, 2008). Posted by Cindy Dobrez and Lynn Rutan. I LOVED this book and hope it gets something at Newbery time. An Indie book store owner shared her arc with me and I must confess that it got lost in the shuffle. I ended up choosing it for review for the NJ State Library and I didn't want it to end. What a great family! I agree with you. I can't wait to read what Law has up next. Happy New Year. January 6, 2009 at 3:12 PM. January 6, 2009 at 6:54 PM.
