About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is navigating the social hierarchies of second grade or facing common childhood anxieties like a 'scary' school bathroom. This story follows the unlikely duo Ivy and Bean as they team up to rid their school of a supposed ghost through elaborate, imaginative rituals. It perfectly captures the blend of logic and fantasy that defines the primary school years. While the book deals with ghosts and spells, the real focus is on the evolving friendship between two girls who are polar opposites. It provides a wonderful model for how children can use teamwork and creativity to master their fears. It is an ideal bridge for early readers transitioning into chapter books, offering humor and relatable school-life scenarios without being overly precious or moralistic.
