Bookroo's summary

Gypsy Beaumont eagerly awaits her thirteenth birthday, hoping for a magical gift to soar. Instead, she gains the ability to see the future and past, just as her unkind Grandma Pat, suffering from Alzheimer's, moves in. As Gypsy's powers spiral into freezing time, her family's world turns upside down. On a trip to bring Grandma Pat home, Gypsy must navigate newfound chaos and unexpected twists. Can she harness her abilities to mend family bonds, or will her visions lead to unforeseen consequences? Discover the magic and mayhem in this enchanting tale of family and friendship.

From the publisher

Ingrid Law delivers another heartwarming story about the magic of friendship and the power of family in this companion to her Newbery Honor-winning Savvy Gypsy Beaumont has always been a whirly-twirly free spirit, so as her thirteenth birthday approaches, she hopes to get a magical ability that will let her fly, or dance up to the stars. Instead, she wakes up on her birthday with blurry vision . . . and starts seeing flashes of the future and past. But when Momma and Poppa announce that her very un-magical, downright mean Grandma Pat has Alzheimer’s and is going to move in with them, Gypsy’s savvy–along with her family’s–suddenly becomes its opposite. Now it’s savvy mayhem as Gypsy starts freezing time, and no one could have predicted what would happen on their trip to bring Grandma Pat home . . . not even Gypsy. With her trademark style and whimsical, beautiful language, Ingrid Law has written another wonderfully moving companion to her Newbery Honor-winning Savvy.
