Ivy & Bean Boxed Set: Books 7- 9

The third set of three books in the bestselling series, Ivy and Bean Boxed Set: Books 7-9 continues the story of Ivy and Bean, two spunky friends who never meant to like each other.

Ivy and Bean are very different. Bean is loud and wild and goofy. She loves to be involved in games and poke her nose in other people's business. Ivy is quiet and full of ideas. She spends most of her time learning how to be a witch. Each girl thinks the other one is weird. Each girl thinks she could never be friends with the other. Especially because their parents keep nagging them about it. But sometimes opposites can become the best of friends because they're opposites.

Ivy and Bean Boxed Set: Books 7-9 includes:

• Book 7: Ivy + Bean: What's the Big Idea? Wouldn't it be cool if Ivy and Bean found the solution to global warming? Wouldn't it be especially cool if the solution was shimmering pink goo in a test-tube and all the famous scientists in the world wished they had thought of it first?
• Book 8: Ivy + Bean: No News Is Good News: Ivy and Bean need some money. Ten dollars, to be exact. Never mind what for. Don't even ask.
