We wish we could go back in time and not do it. once in a while, not very often, we wish we had not done a thing at all. (But there are some not-to-be repeated, not-so-smart activities that hopefully no one tries to recreate.) Highly recommended with no red flags for profanity, violence, or sexual content. And the best news? Book 2, Iggy is Better Than Ever, is already available for even more laughs. Readers in grades 2-5 will laugh and shake their heads at the things Iggy rushes into headlong and without much (any?) thought. Especially when pranks and thoughtless actions lead to messes and more. Iggy is one of those kids that teachers love because they have that wonderful spark that is impossible to describe. Son? Husband? Kid in the neighborhood who hangs out there? She didn’t make that exactly clear, but maybe those real life, outrageous acts of someone close to her are the reason that Iggy’s hijinks seem so authentic. According to an interview with the Texas Bluebonnet Award committee, Iggy is modeled after someone who lives below her writing studio.
Still, he’s a pretty great kid.With Ivy & Bean reaching its end, Annie Barrows needed a new project and all she had to do was look around her house for inspiration.
She has written the award-winning series Ivy + Bean the also-award-winning Magic Half and its sequel, Magic in the Mix Nothing, for young adult readers (that means it has bad words in it) a picture book called What John Marco Saw (don’t worry-she didn’t draw the pictures) and The Best of Iggy, which is the first book in a new series about-you guessed it!-a kid named Iggy who does not play the cello, plant flowers by the side of the road, or learn his lesson and become a better person. In fact, she has written NINETEEN books for kids, and all of them are very very good. Wow! Was that boring or what? Annie has written a bunch of books for kids.
Annie lives in Berkeley, California, with her family. Her best-selling second novel, The Truth According to Us, was published in 2015. An international best-seller, translated into 38 languages, the novel was adapted into a feature film in 2018. If you’re a grownup, read this paragraph:Īnnie Barrows is the co-author, with her aunt Mary Ann Shaffer, of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, published by the Dial Press in 2008.
