Ivy and Bean No News Is Good News (Ivy and Bean Series #8)

by Annie Barrows, Sophie Blackall (Illustrator)

Overview

The 8th book in the New York Times bestselling Ivy & Bean series is now available in paperback! 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-one serving size. Don't ask why. But 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 nose around the neighborhood. Wow—it's interesting what comes out when snoops start digging. It's even more interesting when the neighbors read about it in the newspaper.

Editorial Reviews

In their eighth book appearance, best pals ever Ivy and Bean are on a mission to earn ten dollars. They hit on what at first seems like a foolproof idea to land the cash: They will write a newspaper about Pancake Court and hawk it in the neighborhood. As one might expect, their entrepreneurial venture rapidly becomes much more complicated once our roving reporters hit the road. Now in trade paperback and NOOK Book. Editor's recommendation. (P.S. The talents of writer Annie Barrows and artist Sophie Blackall seem ideally suited to create this entertaining joint venture.)
