Ivy and Bean were never meant to be friends. But after a narrow escape from her older sister, Bean bumps into Ivy, and the two become fast friends. The story of two young girls who weren't supposed to be friends, but yet become ones, captivates audiences (especially young ones), to love the books, and read more of the series!

(My sis is reading this book) This book is about two friends who are always getting into fights for no reason. then, at the end of the book they are friends again the end!

This was a good book with an interesting plot. It was a little childish, but I still enjoyed it. It was a very cute story with aspects of friendship, happiness, and teamwork.

The moment Bean set eyes on her, she knew they would never be friends. And who exactly is this? The new girl, Ivy. Ivy is calm, quiet, enjoys reading, and plays on her own. Bean, on the other hand, is the exact opposite, and knows that Ivy is probably the most boring person on planet earth. What kind of person prefers reading rather than running around her yard, and isn't boring? Well, that's what Bean seems to think. But a whole new idea of Ivy pops up after Bean's prank for Nancy, her older sister, backfires. Both Bean and Ivy take a new turn at how they look at each other, after Ivy helps Bean escape from trouble. The two sneaky girls bond more in their friendship as they go through a spectacular adventure, but will they become friends? Or will they still stand as enemies? Find out in this amazingly hilarious Annie Barrows book about two friends who never meant to like each other!
