In a heart- and humor-filled adventure by On the Blue Comet author Rosemary Wells, a girl spends a summer caring for animals in the mid-century Southwest.
Brokenhearted after her best friend leaves for the entire summer, Ivy rallies and finds herself something new and exciting to do: she hires herself out to look after people’s farm animals and pets while they’re away. So begins a summer of discovery and definition for tenderhearted but sensible Ivy, who must win over the stubborn pony Chestnut, take on the training of a puppy named Inca, and patiently court the trust of the magnificent but scarred racehorse, Andromeda. All this while tending to her own private hurts and hopes, and managing the hapless tagalong Billy Joe, who has a knack for trouble and accidents like nobody else. Celebrated writer Rosemary Wells delivers a compassionately observed and exquisitely distilled novel set in mid-century Nevada about a heroine with an exceptional gift, a heart of gold, and a budding dream for her future.

Ivy Takes Care by Rosemary Wells is a very cute story. Ivy is a young girl in 1949 who lives on a ranch. Ivy's family doesn't have much money, so when Ivy wants to buy a ring for her best friend, she had to buy it herself. To make money, Ivy becomes a pet sitter and takes care of a horse, trains a show dog, and nurses a fox back to health. Overall, this book is a cute, relatively quick read. Also, I noticed that Rosemary Wells, the author, wrote that TV show Max and Ruby.
