Savvy Chapter 11 Summary

  • As the gang drives along, it turns out Lester likes to talk, and the kids learn that the route he's taking won't get them to Salina until the next afternoon. Everyone is upset at this, except for Will, who seems to be having a good time.
  • When the bus gets to Lester's next stop, the kids get off and walk around while they wait. Mibs reflects on what Momma said about knowing what your savvy is, and as she steps onto the porch of a house, she remembers how Poppa wanted the biggest porch swing.
  • Will joins Mibs on the porch. He tries to pry into why the Beaumonts are different, but she turns it around on him and asks why he's called Will Junior when his father's name isn't William. Will just smiles though, and informs her that she isn't the only one with secrets.
  • In order to cheer Mibs up, Will presents Mibs with the present he got for her again, and this time she opens the pen set. Will offers her his hand to try it out on… and Mibs draws a smiling sun that suddenly comes to life. Huh.
