Ivy and Bean Doomed to Dance Written by: Annie Barrows and Sophie Blackall Reviewed by: Pip30, age 10

Ivy and Bean, two girls aged about seven, read a book about a dance, called Giselle, and get inspired by it. Now they want to take ballet classes, but ballet is WAY different than Giselle. Bean’s mom said that Bean is allowed to take dance class if she is not complaining. So she told Ivy she was allowed if she wasn’t complaining. The only reason Bean isn’t allowed to complain is because she quitted Softball and a few other clubs. Ivy was also allowed to take ballet classes. So now Ivy and Bean are off for a ballet adventure! Will they like it?

I liked the book because it was very adventurous in the aquarium where they saw Squids. The part I enjoyed best was where Ivy and Bean tried to break their arms so they did not have to be squids in the ballet performance in front of a bunch of people. Ivy and Bean also try a lot of different things that they don’t have to take the part like getting sick. I also liked the book because Bean was kind of good in the book and Ivy was bad.

I recommend this book to girls who go dancing but not always enjoy the class. Also I would recommend it to girls in the age of eight to ten years old.
