Anyone but Ivy Pocket

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Barbara Cantini. Twelve-year-old orphan maid Ivy Pocket is an unreliable, self-deluded, and egotistical narrator (think Amelia Bedelia meets Lemony Snicket) hired to deliver a magical necklace to an heiress. A host of villainous characters and shady motives, added to Ivy's rash but comical demeanor, will keep readers guessing, if they aren't distracted by the slightly convoluted supernatural mystery. Creepy, stylized black-and-white illustrations appear throughout.
