A review by ah3llfire_
Ivy and Bean by Annie Barrows

This used to be one of my go-to books to sneak into my bedroom at night and read under the covers. I reread it tonight after watching the first movie (which was a pretty faithful adaptation) and was reminded of how entertaining I found it as a child.
I highly recommend it to young readers as it's a fast-paced and fun read that encourages children to embrace a balance of reading and playing outdoors.
