Well, usually I would say that my savvy would be invisibility, but as I’m stuck writing several end-of-semester papers right now I’d want a paper-writing savvy. Snap! Bam! Papers done. Free time (for reading and writing): start. Yesss.

I’ve mentioned before that my dream savvy would be to remember where I put things. My true savvy is knowing when to hold my tongue. Believe me! It’s gotten me out of a lot of trouble!

Forgot to add that my real savvy is that people like telling me their problems!

This books sounds great!

My dream savvy would be the ability to transport myself anywhere instantly.

My real savvy is probably that I am very organized and meticulous.

Thanks for entering me!

My dream savvy would be to know the right thing to say and do for people in every situation. Wouldn’t it be amazing to have that instinctual knowlege of what people needed?

My real savvy might be that I’m a good listener and come across as non-judgmental.

I’m really looking forward to reading this book! I’m going to go put it on reserve at the library right now.

OH OH OH OH! I loved this book! My big regret was that I didn’t have time to read it with my daughter before it had to go back to the library!

If I could have a Savvy…hmmm…I’m going to go with the classic being able to fly or being invisible. Though I am mildly pretrified of heights…maybe I should change that!

Such a fun book! I enjoyed this more than The Graveyard Book which won the Newbery.

The savvy I think I already posess….hmmm…patience and the ability to tune out the sound of children whining.

My daughter says her Savvy is to draw pictures and “learn stuff.”

My daughter say she would like to talk to animals. Wait, I have to clarify she says, she wants to talk WITH animals.

I would love the ability travel anywhere in the world in a second, and anyone who is touching me can go along. I can imagine dropping my son off to school. It would take 1 second, rather than 20 minutes round trip! After, I would put on my bathing suit, and head to Fiji for the day. At night, I may dine in Paris. My savvy I currently have is the ability to be extremely patient with my son. As a result, he is an incredible person. I’d love the book, because he recently turned 13, so it would be fun for both of us.

Hmmmm….dream savvy?? Probably the ability to stop time. I never have time to get everything done…and I’m late everywhere I go!!

Real savvy?? I’m really good with people. I can talk to anyone whether they are 5 or 80! That’s probably why I’ve always done so well in the service industy.

My dream savvy would be to fly, because then I wouldn’t be afraid of heights anymore.

My real savvy? Hmmm… I make excellent blueberry cobbler and chocolate chip cookies, so I’ll say I have a secret baking talent. =)
