Annie Barrows promotes Ivy & Bean Make the Rules.

Annie Barrows, author of the wonderful Ivy & Bean books for young readers, will read from and sign her ninth book in the series Ivy & Bean Make the Rules ($14.99 Chronicle). Bean’s older sister, Nancy, is going to Girl Power 4-Ever Camp, where she will do Crafts and Music and First Aid and other secret things that Bean will never know about because girls have to be eleven to go to Girl Power 4-Ever Camp. Bean doesn’t care. She doesn’t want to go to camp. She wouldn’t go even if they begged her. So ha. So ha ha. So—wait a second! Bean and Ivy can make their own camp, their own better camp: Camp Flaming Arrow, where counselors Ivy and Bean will give a whole new meaning to Crafts, Music, First Aid, and hands-on learning!

Leave it to Ivy & Bean to take matters into their own hands. Author Annie Barrows stops by with her hilarious and mischievous new episode (Book #9) in the Ivy & Bean series, Ivy & Bean Make the Rules. Maybe the girls are too young to go to Girl Power 4-Ever Camp, but that doesn’t keep them from launching their own camp, their own better camp. So ha. So ha ha!

There are many reasons we love Annie Barrows. Her books. Her sense of humor. Her penchant for troublemaking. Oops, did we say that? We meant her characters, Ivy and Bean. Those well-intentioned rascals we love so much are up to new hijinks in Ivy and Bean Make the Rules (Book 9) when Bean’s sister goes to camp and Ivy and Bean are not allowed. Instead they make their own camp...with their own rules. We think you should make your own rules too, we do it all the time. But here’s a rule we made that you should follow: Be at Wild Rumpus Wednesday October 10th at 6pm or miss out on an awesome event with Annie Barrows herself, reading and signing copies of her newest Ivy and Bean book.

Annie Barrows signs The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.

This JBB favorite starts in London in January of 1946 when writer Juliet Ashton receives a letter from a stranger, one of the founding members of the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. And thus begins the story of the island of Guernsey during German occupation and of the remarkable literary society. (archaism)… (more)
