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. Review:"I feel a deep gratitude that Ida B exists." Kate DiCamillo, Newbery Medalist Review:"With just the right amount of tension in the plot, a spot-on grasp of human emotions, and Ida B's delightful turns of phrase, this book begs to be read aloud." School Library Journal Review:"A poignant, affirming, and often funny debut from a promising new author."

Seeing how Ida B deals with all of this is worth the price of admission." Children's Literature Synopsis:In this first novel by Hannigan, readers are introduced to Ida B.
