Ivy
For fans of Jessica Day George and E. D. Baker comes a charming young fantasy about a girl, her grandmother, and an animal hospital devoted to fantastical creatures.
Ivy's grandmother is a healer--to mostly four-legged patients of the forest. Although the woodland creatures love her, the residents of Broomsweep grumble about Grandmother's unkempt garden. When a kingdom-wide contest is announced to proclaim the tidiest town in the land, the people of Broomsweep are determined to win. That is, if they can get Ivy's grandmother to clean up her ways. Ivy is determined to lend a hand, but the task proves more challenging when a series of unexpected refugees descends on Grandmother's cottage. Before the week is over, an injured griffin, a dragon with a cold, and a tiny flock of temperamental pixies will cause a most untidy uproar in Broomsweep . . . and brighten Ivy's days in ways she never could have dreamed.

A sweet fantasy early chapter book. Animal lovers will enjoy it. A quick and easy read, just right for those starting lengthier chapter books.

In this enchanting fairytale story a little girl named Ivy lives with her Grandmother in the town of Broomsweep. Grandmother is known as a healer of creatures and Ivy also has a way with animals. Trouble appears in the form of the mayor’s wife Mistress Peevish as well as some neighborhood children who bully Ivy. The town of Broomsweep is a place where everything is neat and tidy, except for Grandmother’s cottage. The townspeople are anticipating the arrival of the new Queen Emmeline who will choose the best town in the kingdom of Evermore. They insist that Grandma and Ivy clean up their garden and get rid of all the recuperating animals. Grandma and Ivy try their best to make things neater, but their efforts are hampered by the arrival of a three-legged griffin named Cedric, a dragon named Balthazar, and parcel of pixies. In the end these unwanted unusual creatures will save the town from a band of trolls and win the favor of the queen. The short chapters and small detailed pencil illustrations make this a perfect book for readers transitioning to chapter books. Recommend this to readers who love fairytales and mythical creatures. Fans of Pip Bartlett’s Guide to Magical Creatures by Jackson Pierce and Maggie Stiefvater and The Spiderwick Chronicles by Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi’s will love it too.

I read the advance reading copy of Ivy by Katherine Coville. This book has very beautiful art and an interesting plot line. Ivy is an excitable character who many young girls can relate too. This book made me laugh and laugh. The world that Katherine Coville creates is wonderful and imaginative. I highly recommend this book to all of the young readers out there.

Pros: Fun and spirited.
Cons: A group of children tease a girl for being heavy. Some mild, disrespectful language, mostly from the Mayor's Wife. It's done in character, but dripping with disdain and intolerance. Largely overshadowed by an understanding grandmother and a better path for understanding through the narrative.

Ivy lives in the tidiest town in the kingdom. Unfortunately, her grandmother’s house is, according to the villagers, an untidy eyesore. Worse, with the new queen hosting a competition for the kingdom’s best town, the villagers are placing more and more pressure on Ivy’s grandma to shape up… or get out. The competition is causing problems for more than just Ivy though. First a griffin and then a dragon show up, chased from their homes for being troublesome and untidy. Finding shelter at Ivy’s brings new excitement to the homestead, but also draws more hate from the townspeople. As the competition and the visit from the new queen draw closer, Ivy and her grandmother must decide how far they are willing to go to protect their new friends, and what they will do as irritation and contempt turns ugly. But a not-unexpected twist changes everyone’s perspective in this lighthearted, magical tale.
Ivy is a sweet, magical tale, perfect for introducing younger readers to the fantasy genre. It is best for second or third-grade readers, who will enjoy the overtones of wish-fulfillment, and appreciate the simple message and humor. A lighthearted romp with a message.

December 3, 2023I stumbled upon this book at the library while looking for Warrior Cats and thought it looked cute and checked it out. It was a sweet story with an amazing atmosphere, I knew where the story was going but it was a fun ride nonetheless and it had pictures!

What a cute book! This book was a quick, short, but very enjoyable read. It's about a girl named Ivy who lived with her grandmother. The grandmother was a healer of all creatures including magical ones. They were not very well-liked by the townspeople because their garden was very messy, and they did not sweep their porch twice a day like all the other people. Ivy and her grandmother were very kind to everyone, and, in the end, helped the town become the best town in the kingdom. All of the characters were very likable, except for the trolls of course. The story had a great beginning, middle, and a happy ending. I just wanted to let out a big "Hooray" when the queen announced that Broomsweep was the "most perfect, most unique, most fun of any town in the kingdom of Evermore"! Lots of action throughout. Just a great fantasy story that I think both boys and girls will enjoy.

An enjoyable read without all the moralistic stuff being shoved down your throat.

I hate giving books low ratings...but I want to count this in my books read list for my count for the year because albeit large print, it is 134 pages of text that I made it through...but also I don't want to make it look like I'm recommending it just because I read it.
This book is fine. If my kid wanted to read it and liked it I wouldn't stop them.
It's a kid's chapter book. It's easy enough to read.
There's nothing really great about it though. It seems to attempt in it's moral to promote acceptance of difference. That's a fine moral.
The grandmother and grandaughter are outcasts for being messier than everybody else and not following lawn-care type city ordinances. I hate those conformists just trash lawn ordinances that are against nature, and I agree that kids should be allowed to play and get messy sometimes, but I'm just not enthusiastic about championing messiness as a cause. Also the town is getting ready for a contest to be rated as the number one city in the land by the queen. I like reading fairy tales of royalty that speak to people's experiences of living in societies where royalty exists (or existed), but I'm just really tired of any modern kid's book that tries to promote royalty in an exalted manor or as the esteemed and justified arbiter of justice. Not only is it inappropriate as a value system, it fails to give agency to the protagonists to face their antagonists and do actual problem solving as one would hope would occur in a novel. Also, the grandma is consistently unbothered by the threats from her neighbors and willing to help anyone even if they've hurt her. Her lack of concern seems like it's meant to convey a sense of security that Grandma truly knows best, but IMO it comes across as delusional and dysfunctional. Also, what kind of moral is it to just let people kick you around and not address the ways they are harming you? Also, why is the importance of the contest itself never called into question? I see the intent here, and I know it's just a kid's book, but I'm not on board with the values it's conveying. I feel like kid's books can do better.
The story is simplistic and contrived and the whimsy false flat, IMO. There are so many great young reader books out there, I just wouldn't pick this one given the many other options.
But it's fine. It's whatever.

Ivy by Katherine Coville is a short, transition book for readers just starting chapter books. This book is all about a little girl named Ivy and her Grandmother. They live in a town called Broomsweep, and this town is extremely clean and tidy. Everyone sweeps their porches twice a day. However, Grandmother has tall weeds and a messy garden that surrounds her house, and she only sweeps once a day. She needs her weeds and garden, since she is the healer of the community. These weeds and plants are the way she heals people and animals. The neighborhood children make fun of Ivy for being a “dirty” kid, and when the mayor’s wife, Mistress Peevish, stops by to pick up her dog, she tells them they need to work on cleaning up their house because there will be a competition for who has the cleanest towns, and the new queen, Queen Emmeline, will be the judge. After many obstacles, like Cedric, a three legged dragon comes, these weird creatures and magical medicine will save the town. In the end, Queen Emmeline chooses their town for the cleanest.
The front cover of the book shows Ivy and her Grandmother standing in front of their house. The house is sagging, with lots of weeds and bushes surrounding it. This allows the readers to have this specific picture of what their house looks like while reading. The pixies that show up later in the novel are also on the front cover, along with Mistress Peevish’s dog. I love how bright colors are used to illustrate this scene on the cover because it sets the tone for the rest of the book. In addition, there are some black and white illustrations throughout the book that add a break for the readers. However, I do not think that these illustrations are necessary. Overall, I enjoyed this book, and I would recommend it for ages 7-10, and this book would be great in the classroom to offer students who are just starting to read picture books.

This book, Ivy by Katherine Coville, is the perfect transitional book for children in between picture books and novels. It is 134 pages, with several illustrations throughout so children should not get overwhelmed by the length of the book. Ivy tells the story of a young girl named Ivy and her Grandmother in the town of Broomsweep. The town is supposed to be the cleanest, most perfect town, and the citizens are supposed to sweep their porches twice a day. Grandmother, who is the healer of animals, doesn't do this, so the mayor's wife often scolds her for it, saying they will not win the Best Town Award that is coming soon by the new queen. The wife doesn't like that she has all of these creatures that she is healing, either, so she always has something to complain about. Eventually, the new queen comes to town and witnesses Ivy and the creatures fighting the trolls who tried to hurt the creatures and take them away. The queen applauds Ivy and the creatures for their brave act and ensures them that the creatures are here to stay. The town is also named the best town because it is so unique, not because it's the cleanest. I liked that a message of this book was that you don't have to be the best to be good, and that you should never give up what you love just because someone else doesn't like it. As students are transitioning from picture books to novels, they are probably at the age where they need to hear these messages. I would recommend this book for children in 2nd-4th grade because of the magical illustrations, ease of vocabulary, and the simple message that most children could understand.

This story is magical (literally). It is about a young girl named Ivy and her grandmother. The grandmother was known for her healing powers of all animals and creatures. On the other hand they are seen as outcasts because of their messy garden while the neighbors sweeps their porch two times a day and a neat garden. The grandmother needs her weeds and plants for her healing power. Due to the fact that the garden is messy, the kids at school make fun of Ivy calling her a dirty kid. When a contest is appraoching for the neatest town, the grandmother has to make a decisison to try to win and get rid of her healing abilities or stay true to her roots. The front cover of the book shows Ivy and her Grandmother standing in front of their house. Surrounding their house has the weeds and bushes like it was described in the book. This allows the readers to have this specific image of what their house is supposed to look like while reading which I thought was interesting. I also like the vibrant colors on the cover because it was it was described as very dirty. I think this book would be appropiate for middle elementary students because it has the magical fantasy which is very popular. I would reccomend this book to my students who are interested in a genre like this because it is not for everyone.

Ivy is a story about a girl and her grandmother, who is the local healer for animals. They grow their ingredients for their potions in their yard, but the people of Broomsweep are disapproving to the messiness of Ivy and her grandmother's yard. The towns people pride themselves in the cleanliness of their town and hope to win the best town in the new queen's contest. Ivy and her grandmother, Meg, try to tidy up their home after the Mayor's wife comes to warn them about the contest. However, a series of unexpected visitors come to see Meg. Magical creatures have sought out help from the healer, including a griffin, pixies, and a dragon. Ivy learns how to be kind to the creatures as she and her grandmother help the magical creatures. In return the creatures help when a group of trouble making trolls come to town right as the queen is arriving. This book contains a few illustrations throughout the book. These illustrations are black and white and show important details of the story. The characters and their emotions are illustrated in these pictures. The cover of this book shows Ivy and Meg in front of their house with important creatures that they help in the book. I would use this book with forth or fifth graders to teach folklore and stories with a moral.

This was a cute, charming chapter book, perfect for young readers. It was told in a simple to read manner with enough description to provide setting without the text becoming difficult for young readers. Despite being told in a simple, storybook manner, it was filled with surprises. Many of my predictions came true. Cedric did save the town to the delight of the queen, but I forgot about the dragon mentioned at the beginning of the book. I, also, didn’t predict that [spoiler] the townsfolk would abandon their fussy, priggish ways so that they could preserve their town’s reputation as the new Queen’s favorite fun town.
Simple tales can be easy to predict, which is why I like to guess outcomes as I read along. I want to see if the author has a surprise for me at the end. I’m happy to say that she did. This was a good book. What stopped this book from being a four star tale was the flatness of the characters. I’d give it ★★★½☆ if I could. However, I’m an adult. I know my daughters would have gobbled up this book when they were younger. There is a dearth of fantasy themed chapter books out there. Ivy will fill that untapped niche wonderfully.

This book is perfect for the 3rd grade because it involves both a little bit of a fantasy fairy tale but also explores some of the possibilities for what they can be in the future. A little girl named Ivy tries to help the critters of the woods or the pets of the animals living in her town with her grandma. Trying to help the animals just like her grandma makes her the talk of the town and the other girls call her Wild Girl and not in a nice way. The other people in the town have an upkeep town by keeping their houses in perfection, however her grandmas house is in complete disarray as other people call it an overgrown garden. With all of the many animals that come to the cottage on the edge of the town and the beginning of the woods, she needs help to try and get her cottage in order for the town competition of being the best town in the kingdom. I would have an assignment of what types of animals live in the woods and what types of animals live in houses and on farms. The cover illustration is perfect in that it has the main characters on the front of the book and a couple of animals to show what they do in the book.

Short fantasy book (134 pages) that includes pixies, a sick dragon, a three legged griffin, and some nasty trolls. Really enjoyed.
Ivy lives in Broomsweep with her grandmother who is the healer of animals and magical creatures. Everyone in town ( a clean perfect town) is embarrassed and angered by the grandmother's dirty home and unkept garden. The new queen is visiting all the villages and will award a festival to the best village. Many of the villagers, especially the Mayor's wife, are furious with the Grandmother and Ivy because they will ruin their perfect status with their messy home and magical creatures.

A very nice introduction to magical creatures and also goblins. Ivy is a shy young girl who has a gift with animals and is learning the healing trade from her grandmother. The town is not happy with them because they do not fit into the mold. They are not concerned about the appearance of their property and they welcome magical creatures. The herbs and other plants that they grow look more like weeds. The towns people insist that magical creatures bring trouble. They will soon find out what happens as the entire country seems intent on evicting the dragons, griffins and other magical creatures. There is a balance in nature that they are not willing to see.

This is such a cute, warm, fluffy fairytale of a story. It’s most definitely meant for younger readers (my guess is probably 3rd grade and up), but, if you are in the mood for a short cozy read then this will hold up no matter your age.
There’s a cottage, there’s a garden, there are grouchy townspeople, and there are magical creatures. The characters are not particularly deep or dynamic, but they are fun. It’s predictable if you’ve read any other fairytale, but sometimes that’s okay. So, this isn’t some great work of literature, but it is adorable.

Ahoy there mateys! This is the story of a girl named Ivy who lives with her grandmother, the village healer in the town of Broomsweep. Parts of this story were cute (griffins, dragon, and Poof) but I didn't like how mean the townsfolk were to Ivy's family who helped everyone and how the bullying got overlooked. I also thought that all of the characters were rather flat. There was not a lot about what Ivy was really thinking or feeling. The contest and the results were lame and because the queen liked Ivy, the locals just switch? Ugh. I felt like this should have been delightful and wasn't. Won't be reading the rest of the series. Arrr!
March 21, 2023
Corrie Blaire’s review: I really liked that Poof and the Griffin became friends. Cedric seemed scary, but he was really nice. If this were a movie or a show they’d have to push the back leg of the costume up to make it look like he doesn’t have one leg. Or they could chose one person with two legs and another with only one to go in the back. (When asked what if they just found a Griffin with three legs to play the part?) They could do that. (Where do you think they’d find a Griffin?) Well, I’m not totally sure they’d cooperate because they’re wild, but I think Griffins live where Pepper does. (Pepper is her imaginary friend). Corrie recommends this book.

Delightful story of Ivy and her Grandmother. Villagers call her Meg the Healer. Ivy and she are able to relate to the animals that live in and around a the village of Broomsweep. It is one of the tidiest villages in the area, the townspeople sweep the dust away twice a day. Not Ivy and her Grandmother, they have a garden to tend to; which helps with the healing of all kinds of ailments. The storyline is a good one. It tells how, if we try, we are able to work together for the good of the community.
Fun, Fun, Fun.
Fun, Fun, Fun.

This adorable tale is a quick and satisfying read. Coville crafted a perfect entry point into the world of Middle Grade literature. Broomsweep is full of colorful, approachable characters. Ivy is very easy to identify with. The conflict reaches its satisfying conclusion when Ivy makes turns her enemies into her friends. And the townspeople learn that fun is more important than a perfectly swept porch. While this wouldn’t hold the attention of an upper middle grade reader, a 6-8 year old girl who is growing out of chapter books will eat this up!

This story is absolutely adorable!!!! This story does a good job of teaching kids the lesson of being nice to everyone. Ivy and her grandmother had been such kind people to all the creatures, both magical and not, who had come to her for help. No matter how mean everyone in the town was to them for helping the creatures, they never gave up. In the end their kindness is what had helped them the most. The ending was predictable but I believe that for younger readers it will not be, making the lesson even more acknowledged once it clicks to them.

This is a charming break from the harshness of life. Grandmother is kind to everyone, even (or maybe especially) the rude neighbors, trusting that kindness will win them over. She teaches Ivy to do the same, offering kindness and courtesy, but firmly holding to her determination to offer aid to all who need it. Magical creatures "troublesome"? Well, a three-legged griffin does land rather destructively, but what's a little mess? A dragon with a cold might be a fire hazard, but he needs care, too. Brava for Ivy and her wise grandmother! May we all be more like them.

Ivy is a quaint little girl who lives with her grandma at the end of a little town. Her grandmother is a healer for animals, all animals even fairytale ones like dragons and griffins. Sounds simple, but the queen of their province is coming and rumors have reached them that she doesn't like animals especially fairy ones.
The story and illustrations are mesmerizing and enchanting. You will walk away from this one with a warm feeling in your heart.

This was a nice book for a child that likes dragons, goblins, etc. Not for the advanced child reader as they would find it to slow. But for a child with imagination it would be good.
a little girl and her grandma regardless of what the village says know that they need to care for all creatures even if they are dragon, fairies, goblins etc. And in showing compassion for them they help teach the village the same.
