Review of Amy and Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson

This book was... EPIC!! It was so heartfelt and touching, and it showed that you need to confront what's bothering you to get over it. It's about a 17 year old girl, Amy Curry, who is asked to make a cross-country trip from California to Connecticut, with Roger Sullivan, an old friend. And, with her father recently dead, and her brother in rehab, she has a lot of stuff on her plate. And maybe, just maybe Roger is hiding something too. This book was too cute. The characters were people we could relate to and the side characters were developed surprisingly well (Bronwyn). And, not to mention the playlists throughout the book... they were amazing! I looked up some of the songs and they were really good. All in all, anyone who likes a cute (but maybe not so light) read should definitely check this out.

This book was AMAZING! I couldn't put it down! Savvy is about a girl called Mibs, a nickname for Mississippi. In her family every thirteenth birthday is special. This is because on this birthday thry discover their magical power, their savvy. Her brother, Rocket, is full of electicity, her brother, Fish, causes storms, and her momma is perfect. But days before her birthday her father is in a car accident and is rushed to the hospital all the way in Salina Hope hospital, 90 miles from their house. Suddenly Mibs, her brothers Fish and Samson, and the preachers children Will and Bobbi are on a wild journey to Mibs' poppa. This is a story that has everything in it, advanture, romance, fantasy, and even a story about friendship. If you haven't read this story I seriously suggest that you do! You will not be sorry! =D =D =D =D =D =D =D =D =D =D =D
