Ivy

By Julie Hearn

Ivy is the story of a girl with the same name, wild, bright red hair, and now, a job as an artist's model. The artist, Oscar Aretino Frosdik, has little talent but believes that with Ivy as his model he will finally become great. However, Ivy is more than just a pretty face. A troubled past has left her with bad memories and a dangerous addiction. Ivy is a vegetarian and loves animals, lives with her aunt and cousins, and can't read or write. I just loved Ivy, both the girl and the book. The girl is a wonderful protagonist and the book is well written and the story is great. Ivy reminds me of some other book that I liked, but I can't remember its name. I havn't read anything else by this author yet, but I plan to do so soon. If you've read Ivy please let me know what you think, because I love to hear what other people think of books. Also let me know if you can reccomend anything good.
