"I think that Ivy and Bean and the Ghost That Had to Go is really funny, especially the part when the toilet overflows in the girls' bathroom and Mrs. Noble gets mad. The pictures are really nice, and I like the way everybody's eyes look when they are staring at the ghost. I also enjoyed when Bean snipped Nancy's hair in the middle of the night for a potion. I love Ivy's bedroom! The first book talks about it more and shows a great picture of it, though. Read Book 1 and you will understand Book 2 much better. I thought it was a really great book. READ IT, READ IT, READ IT, READ IT, READ IT!!!"

    " Ivy and Bean are best friends. They shouldn't be but are. Ivy is very quiet and always knows the right answers. Bean is loud, talks alot, and fidgets. They "see" a ghost in the outdoor bathrooms at school. Of course, everyone in their class hears and they get in trouble. They decide they must send the ghost back to it's grave. "

    " I can't believe I missed reviewing this book. It's one of my favorite Ivy & Bean books. The lovely pun-ny title is enough to make you laugh. Ivy and Bean inadvertently start the rumor that the girl's bathroom is haunted. So, of course, none of the girls can use it any more, so, the ghost has to go. And Ivy and Bean are just the people to preform the magic involved in making the ghost go away. Fun from start to finish. "
