About Ivy and Bean Doomed to Dance – Book 6
After begging their parents for ballet lessons, Ivy and Bean finally get what they want…well, not exactly. Much to their surprise, it turns out ballet lessons do not include karate chops and roundhouse kicks to the villain’s heart. The girls have no interest in learning how to dance gracefully, but they promised their parents they would finish the entire ballet course! When it comes time for Ivy and Bean to participate in the ocean-themed class recital, the girls must figure out a way to get out of it without breaking their promises.

Thaddeus has enjoyed reading his Ivy & Bean book and we’ve enjoyed that he likes it even though it’s more for girls!

Our favorite lovable, adventurous and spunky duo is back with a new hilarious tale! Check out the trailer to get a sneak peak at what mischief Ivy & Bean have gotten into now.
