Switch is a companion to the Newbery Honor Winner SAVVY. The book is about a girl named Gypsy and her magical family. The morning of Gypsy’s 13th birthday Gypsy wakes up with blurry vision and keeps seeing visions of the future and past. Before Gypsy figures out her powers her parents announce that her Grandma Pat is going to move in with them. A little later into the book there was a blizzard. Gypsy has to save her family from a vision she had and learn how to control her powers before it’s too late.
Gypsy Beaumont is caring, different, and child like. She is caring in a interesting way because she tries to stop them from doing the stuff in her visions but it just makes them worse. She is different because she has magical powers and because and everyone is different in their own way. She is childlike because she loves glitter and kiddish stuff and because she acts like a little kid.
One of the most interesting parts in the book is when Gypsy wakes up to blurry vision and seeing flashes of the future and past because that is not something that’s going to happen everyday. Another interesting part in the book is when Gypsy’s grandma Pat moves in with them because once she moves in a blizzard comes and they can’t leave the house.
I did enjoy this book. I like this book because it’s a magical book and I like magic. I would recommend this book if you like Winter and magical books about their family. I would also recommend this book because Gypsy is a great character and I really enjoy reading about her and her family. This book is unique because I have not heard of a movie or a book where there’s a girl who has to save their family from a vision she has while there’s a blizzard going on. I rate this book three and a half stars because I didn’t love this book but I didn’t hate it.
Switch seems like a great book because I like magic. If you liked this book you should read Switched at Birthday. It is one of my favorite books because it is about a popular kid and a not so popular kid and they magically switch bodies. One discovers what it is like to be a loser and the other gets to live in a “fairy tale life!” They have to learn “the power of friendship” to switch back. I thought you did a great job with this summary because you made it very clear and I could understand every thing easily. Now I want to read this book since I like magic!
Harlan, now I really want to read this book. I always have liked magical and fantasy books but this books seems very unique from all the other magical books. I have also never read a book about a girl who has to save her family from visions she had.
I think this book sounds very interesting. I would definitely like to read it.
I read Savvy and I got a little board but now I really want to read Switch. I want to read switch because I love magic and you said that she has magical powers. Switch also sounds mysterious because she has to find out what the visions means and how it relates to what’s going on.
Your review is very cool and detailed.
Ingrid Law is one of my favorite authors. I loved Savvy and Switch. I like how the stories were companions rather than a true sequel/series. I’m wondering who has your favorite savvy?
This book sounds really interesting. I liked how you added in how on her 13th birthday she sees visions of her past and her future. This book sounds really cool.
