If you liked Clementine, by Sara Pennypacker, then Ida B is for you! Ida B is a quirky gal with a perfect life: she's homeschooled by her kind, attentive parents and lives in the country, where she has a very special relationship with the trees and the stream near her house. Then her idyllic life is challenged and changed, and Ida B must figure out how to cope. How she responds is so realistic that you might cry even as you are filled with hope. This is Katherine Hannigan's first novel, and it is so beautifully and insightfully written, with such rich, real characters, that I can hardly wait for her to write another one!

Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Who is Ida B. Applewood? She is a fourth grader like no other, living a life like no other, with a voice like no other, and her story will resonate long after you have put this book down. How does Ida B cope when outside forces—life, really—attempt to derail her and her family and her future? She enters her Black Period, and it is not pretty. But then, with the help of a patient teacher, a loyal cat and dog, her beloved apple trees, and parents who believe in the same things she does (even if they sometimes act as though they don't), the resilience that is the very essence of Ida B triumph...and Ida B. Applewood takes the hand that is extended and starts to grow up. This first novel is both very funny and extraordinarily moving, and it introduces two shining stars—Katherine Hannigan and Ida B. Applewood. Synopsis: Ida B. Applewood believes there is never enough time for fun. That's why she's so happy to be homeschooled and to spend every free second outside with the trees and the brook. Then some not-so-great things happen in her world. Ida B has to go back to that Place of Slow but Sure Body-Cramping, Mind-Numbing, Fun-Killing Torture—school. She feels her heart getting smaller and smaller and hardening into a sharp, black stone. How can things go from righter than right to a million miles beyond wrong? Can Ida B put together a plan to get things back to just-about perfect again? Synopsis:Who is Ida B. Applewood?
