Excellent book about friendship, growing up, dysfunctional families, and understanding. Loved Ivy. Heart-wrenching in places. I think this was the first book that made me cry. (

This is one of the best books I ever read as a kid, I don't know how many times I read it. I love Snyder, and still reread her books to this day. This one in particular is a wonderful book about being yourself and bring brave about it - but never in an overt, Lifetime movie preachy way. I just know that this book gave me inspiration about just being me and ignoring social pressure. Highly recommended, especially for children. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0595321801, Paperback)

Ivy Carson belonged to the notorious Carson family, which lived in a run-down house in suburban Rosewood. But Ivy was not a typical Carson. There was something wonderful about her. Ivy explained it by saying that she was a changeling, a child of supernatural parents who had been exchanged for the real Ivy Carson at birth. This classic book was first published in 1970. It was awarded a Christopher Medal and named an outstanding book for young people by the Junior Library Guild.
