About this item
Ivy and Bean need some money. Ten dollars, to be exact. Never mind what for. Okay, it's for low-fat Belldeloon cheese in a special just-for you serving size. Don't ask why. How are Ivy and Bean going to make ten dollars? Hey, maybe they should write a newspaper about Pancake Court and sell it! Great idea! And easy, too. All they have to do is snoop around the neighborhood. Wow...It's very interesting what they can find out. It's even more interesting when the neighbors read about it in the newspaper.

In fact, she has written NINETEEN books for kids, and all of them are very very good. Mostly, they're funny too. She has written the award-winning series Ivy Bean; the also-award-winning Magic Half and its sequel, Magic in the Mix; Nothing, for young adult readers (that means it has bad words in it) ; a picture book called What John Marco Saw (don't worry--she didn't draw the pictures) ; and The Best of Iggy, which is the first book in a new series about--you guessed it!--a kid named Iggy who does not play the cello, plant flowers by the side of the road, or learn his lesson and become a better person. Still, he's a pretty great kid.
