The "wild child." She is loud, exuberant, and fearless. Bean is a tomboy who loves getting dirty, digging holes, and poking her nose into neighborhood business.
Whether they are starting a neighborhood newspaper or attempting to "solve" global warming, their adventures emphasize the benefits of cooperation over individual effort. About the Series - Annie Barrows
Ivy’s room and yard are neat and filled with "ingredients" for spells, while Bean’s domain is defined by chaos and treehouses.
Her imagination fuels their most elaborate schemes, from casting "dancing spells" on Bean’s older sister, Nancy, to hunting for ghosts in the school bathroom.
The generic, upper-middle-class cul-de-sac setting acts as a blank canvas, allowing the girls' imaginative play to be the main attraction.
