This book is a story about two girls, Ivy and Bean who meet and become friends. They have lots of fun together, but some of that fun gets them in trouble! Ivy and Bean can be sneaky, and they love to annoy Bean's older sister. This is a great book for ages 7-10.

Ivy and Bean are two quirky girls who together get into all sorts of trouble. This book is great! I would recommend it to younger readers with a sense of humor. It is realistic fiction. Love it!

This is a great book, espically for younger kids (my little sister is reading it right now.) It's about a little girl named Bean, who has a next-door neighbor named Ivy, who she dosen't want to play with, because she thinks that Ivy is boring. However, when one of her tricks on her older sister, Nancy, backfires, things take a turn for the worse, until Ivy finds Bean and helps her escape. She then finds out that Ivy is sort of cool, and even though she gets a punishment, Bean still likes Ivy, and want to play with her for her next adventure.

I chose this book to find out more about the friendship between Ivy and Bean. The book is really funny. I would recommend this book to others.

I think this a great book because Bean loved to prank her sister.I also liked it because first Ivy and Bean were not friends then at the end they became best freinds.

i want to read the book so i can read that book because

this is an amazing book...i love it...this book is about a girl who likes making friends and has lots of them..ivy loves reading and bean(her neighbour)likes messing and playing outside..this book had many twists...but really amazing

I thought that ivy and bean was a good and funny book. I was able to finish it in less than an hour but I couldn't put it down! The book was a little below my reading level but I still thought that it was very exciting. I loved how bean still went through with pranking her sister even though she knew how much trouble she would be in. Overall, it was a great book.
