On page 8 it states, "We were all smiling to each other around the kitchen table at the smart way we'd taken care of those beans when Momma dropped the phone with a rattling clatter and a single sob-perfectly devastated." This affects Mibs because she literally risked her own life saving her dad by going on an adventure with random people. For example, Momma was so terrified she suddenly dropped the phone after hearing about the incident. Since the accident was on the busy highway at that time, it was very fatal.

This conflict was when Poppa's car crashed on the highway.

Tell me your secret Will Junior! Why are you called that anyway! Junior? Why! Oh why! Maybe, I'm not the only one who has a secret Mibs. Winona meets Rocket, and the two evidently begin a relationship, which is a release for Rocket, who withdrew into himself after accidentally electrocuting (though not killing) Bobbi Meeks, who was in the first book.No Dear! Please! Try to scumble your savvy. Throughout, Ledge and SJ begin to fall in love, and Ledge starts going to an auto repair woman named Winona, who uses spare parts for sculptures, which Ledge begins to do using his savvy. As her father keeps finding Ledge and his daughter talking, he grows angrier and eventually decides to foreclose and destroy the ranch. Sarah Jane keeps finding him and disturbing him, as she wants to know more about The Flying Cattleheart, Uncle Autry's bug ranch (Autry can control bugs). His parents decide to leave Ledge and his sister Fedora (Fe) in Wyoming for the summer, along with cousins Samson and Gypsy Beaumont and Marisol and Mesquite O'Connell (Autry's daughters, who levitate objects), so Ledge can learn to scumble his savvy before he returns home to Indiana. The plot follows a cousin of Mibs', Ledger Kale, whose savvy is to break anything, and also takes place nine years afterward. The sequel to Savvy, Scumble, was released in August 2010. In addition to the 2009 Newbery Honor, Savvy was named the second runner up in the 2011 Indian Paintbrush Book Award. The website Kidsreads called it "fun, hilarious, relatable and enduring". Susan Faust of the San Francisco Chronicle called the storytelling "magical" but noted that some of the adventures were improbable. Kirkus Reviews awarded Savvy a starred review, praising Law's "fertile imagination" and "dab hand for likable, colorful characters".
