This is a good book. I've read it in a long time but a girl with time stopping powers and an uncontrollable brother can do many things. Basically everyone in her family has abilities and no one else knows. I wish I did.

Ingrid Law delivers another heartwarming story about the magic of friendship and the power of family in this companion to her Newbery Honor winning Savvy
Gypsy Beaumont has always been a whirly-twirly free spirit, so as her thirteenth birthday approaches, she hopes to get a magical ability that will let her fly, or dance up to the stars. Instead, she wakes up on her birthday with blurry vision . . . and starts seeing flashes of the future and past. But when Momma and Poppa announce that her very un-magical, downright mean Grandma Pat has Alzheimer’s and is going to move in with them, Gypsy’s savvy—along with her family’s—suddenly becomes its opposite. Now it’s savvy mayhem as Gypsy starts freezing time, and no one could have predicted what would happen on their trip to bring Grandma Pat home . . . not even Gypsy.
With her trademark style and whimsical, beautiful language, Ingrid Law has written another wonderfully moving companion to her Newbery Honor winning Savvy.

So good.
I read the first book, Savvy, and when I saw this one, I knew I just had to read it! So far I'm loving it, the actual SWITCH in the book is mysterious and unexpected, and Granny P. has disappeared! I'm almost done, and I can't wait to see what happens next!
I can't wait to start this book! I read the other two and I am excited about Gypsy's adventure. Before you read this, please read the first book, Savvy!
