Another reader added, "I read ALL of the books in this series when I was in elementary school (I am 17 now) and I absolutely LOVED them."

Annie Barrows, the author of the Ivy & Bean series, has also written several other children's books as well as books for adults. She lives in Northern California with her husband and two daughters.
