I read the first book in the series called Ivy and Bean.  It is about a girl named Bean.  She has a sister named Nancy.  They annoy each other.  Bean comes up with a plan.  The plan is to take $20 from Nancy, put it on a string and tie the string to a bike.  Bean tried that on Nancy, but didn’t get away with it.  Ivy saw the whole things and wanted to help Bean out.  Ivy hides her in a secret spot.  Bean stays there for a little while and finds out that Ivy is a witch.  Bean come back to her house and sees Nancy crying.  Bean is a little mad because she thought she was crying because she had run away, but that wasn’t true.  Bean bangs on the window and… well I can’t tell you the rest, but you can read it.  You might like it.  It’s really funny.

Do you like fairy tales, wars and magic?  Well, if you do, you will like this book.  It starts out when Sabrina and her sister, Daphne, find out they are related to the Grimm bothers, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm.  Jacob’s and Wilhem’s books are not pretend.  They are actually documents.  When Sabrina and Daphne learn this their lives change. Giants steal their grandmother,  Sheriff Hamstead turns out to be one of the three little pigs, the mayor is actually Prince Charming and much more.  Find out how fairy tale creatures impact their ordinary life by reading this book.
