THE WISDOM OF THE IVYVERSE

       This is a book of advice, but remember that no one can tell you once and for all the hard and fast rules for living your life. Ivy may be a confused teenager for much of the story, but she does occasionally have her moments of wisdom:

“It’s this life thing, I suppose. Nobody’s really figured it out yet. You have to write your own manual. . . . I used to think maybe I was so confused because everybody else got an instruction booklet with their birth certificate and I just never got mine. But I found out there’s no right way to live. The thing that’s important is that you do it your way.” —Ivy, Book 3, Chapter 28

       Here’s hoping doing it your way brings you much happiness, health, and success.

       Bon voyage!
