Ivy & Bean first meet and don't like each other. Things happen that change things and they find out that sometimes first impressions can change.

This I a really good book. I l iked It because it w as fnny and had humor mixed in with the great and cool story.

It was a cute story about two girls named Ivy and Bean. It was a witty and hilarious read. It's about two kids named Ivy and Bean and they both misbehave. They never thought they would be really good friends, but it did happen. It was an easy read, and is something to read when you are bored and need a little laugh. I think Bean and Ivy were perfect to be really good friends even though they might be a little opposite.

At first Ivy & Bean weren't friends. This is how they were friends, it all started when Bean’s mom said she should play with the new girl across the street. Bean didn't want to. Bean’s mom also said she was 7 years old just like her & looks really kind, but Bean knew the word kind was boring so she said no thanks. So for weeks Bean didn't play with Ivy. The part when they were friends was after they cast the dancing spell on Nancy (Bean’s big sister she hates her) that’s the part I liked. I liked that part because that’s the part when they become friends. That is why I liked that part.

I really liked this book because it was funny how they didn't want to play with each other and now they enjoy playing together. This book had lots of elarbrotive detail. I could picture the scenes in my head. I would recommend this book to people who like funny books.

Bean is always pulling pranks on her sister and getting in trouble until she tricks her sister really hard and gets in big trouble. She can't seem to find a hiding place yet until Ivy the "pretend" witch helps her find a place to hide. They then plan a wicked dancing spell for revenge on her sister.
