Ivy and Bean and the Ghost That Had to Go (Book 2): Book 2 (Best Friends Books for Kids, Elementary School Books, Early Chapter Books) (Ivy & Bean, IVYB)

There is a ghost in the girl's bathroom. And Ivy and Bean try to stop it. The main characters are Ivy and Bean. The setting of this book is at school and at Ivy's house. The meaning is Adventure. What the author is saying is have fun and stick up for your friend. My favorite part of the book is when they make a potion to stop the ghost. It actually starts in a funny way. It starts like they are eating lunch and playing with their cheese (actually looking through the hole in their cheese. A person would like this book if they like to read about magic, spells and being sneaky. by Isabelle

This was my daughters very favorite book of the summer and the first series that she really devoured on her own without suggestion. She even insisted that I take her to the bookstore to check when the third book will be out. In her words "Annie Barrow is the Best Author Ever!"

My eight year old discovered Ivy & Bean over the summer as part of a summer reading program. It was a total struggle to get her to read. Once she read Ivy and Bean she was willing to read anything I put in front of her if the reward at the end was another Ivy and Bean book. We just purchased this volume and she read it all through dinner, even telling her sister she was too busy to play video games. According to her "It's really funny, and Ivy and Bean are super nice girls except they like to play tricks sometimes and do other things like my friends and I do and it's not mean or scary and I laughed a lot. Oh, and in this one they think there's a ghost but there probably isn't and sometimes I think there are ghosts places too, but then they aren't there, so I liked that."

A great follow up to the first book. Annie Barrows did it again. Finally, early chapter books that a kid can feel like a "big kid" reading and the parents can stomach. Well done.

My seven year old daughter and her entire 2nd grade class love this book. They are anxiously awaiting the release of the next book. My daugter loved the first one (Ivy and Bean) so much that she read this whole book herself. It was the first time she read over 100 pages on her own. Now she can't wait to read other chapter books.
