A grieving widower with twin boys who just can't get it together. A woman who is betrayed, hurting, and afraid. Until Mrs. Merkle shows up to help. She's a nanny - or is she really an angel in disguise?! The kids call her Mrs. Miracle because her patience, warmth and sass starts transforming their lives and brings love and healing to all of them. It was funny and heartwarming.

It was a nice mystery to settle down with. I thought the ending was a little surprising. It wasn't anything mind-bending but I enjoyed it. I would probably read more of her books.

This is a book about loneliness and how we can contribute to our own misery. And this is a story about a man and his dog. This book is magical realism and I don’t feel it’s really my genre. I feel like I’d like it best as a short story. I did really like how it ended.

Really enjoyed the series overall. It was a little rambling in some parts, but managed to tie it up nicely at the end. Would recommend this series for upper elementary/middle school readers.

The second book was better than the first. I couldn’t put it down, I just kept reading and reading and loved every minute of it. Can’t wait for book 3.

I loved this book. It was sad in parts, but there were humorous and quirky parts too. I loved the characters and the letter format of the book.

Ivy and Bean book 7 is about a science fair they had to find a something for the science fair so they did something with the global warming. The idea was all the grow-ups did not feel safe in nature so Ivy and Bean got a idea to get some blankets and put them on the grass and tell the grow-ups the lie down on the blankets and look up and to feel how nice the wind is Ivy and Bean had the grow -ups lie down for two minutes when the two minutes done Ivy and Bean tell the grow - ups that is was time to get up.

I liked the book because it takes place in my favorite season...winter.

Better than expected. Young adult with out being too young. Excited to check out the rest of the series.

This book was not too bad. From the title I was expecting the outcome book to be completely different.
