In another installment of the cute Ivy and Bean series, the girls are up to another adventure that is fueled by child-like imagination. This time, the girls are convinced that a ghost is haunting the bathroom at their school. Actually, Ivy is the one doing the convincing. Too afraid to admit in front of the other kids that she can't do a cartwheel, she makes up the story about the ghost. However, as Bean and others report the cloudy form and moaning voice that must belong to the ghost, Ivy even manages to convince herself that the ghost must be real. When the rumors take on a real force and cause disturbances in the classroom, Ivy gets in trouble for being the cause of the stories. Ivy and Bean then only have one option: the must expel the ghost! With their powerful imaginations and creativity, they decide to make a magic potion that will banish ghosts, and try their hand at a blood oath (don't worry, they're both too squeamish for real blood, they substitute with spitting, instead).

Not the funniest of the Ivy & Bean outings, at least to me, but still better than most series pitched at this age group! ( )

Ivy sees a ghost in the school bathroom, and it's up to her and Bean to expel it. ( )

What can happen when imagination infests the school yard. Better than the first. ( )
