The Beaumont clan's third book (Savvy; Scumble) features thirteen-year-old Gypsy, who's getting the hang of her particular magical ability, or savvy--seeing people's pasts and futures--when things go "wackadoo." After envisioning her own death (she thinks), Gypsy loses her original savvy and gains a new one: stopping time. In typical Law fashion, eccentricity abounds, with vibrant supporting characters and helter-skelter pacing.
