Katherine Hannigans Ida B. is such a beautiful story. Ida B. (not just Ida, thats her mom) lives with her mom and dad. She loves the nature that surrounds her home, making friends with the apple trees and stream. She has a beautiful dialog with the trees. During one of her night time walks with her father he talks about how they must be caretakers of the earth. Ida B. says, the earth takes care of us too. This is very much a theme in this book. Ida is home schooled and lives a beautiful lifeI LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH, EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ IT, IT'S SO ADORABLE AND I LOVE IDA B. READ IT. NOW.
Ida B. is an only child in a perfect world. She spends her days making miniature rafts with questions attached like, "What is life like in Canada?" Her best friends are the apple trees, with whom she has long conversations.Then one day the apple trees are worried, daddy seems worried, and mommy doesn't seem the same. Her parents tell her that her mother is sick and while she's trying to get better, Ida is going to have to stop being homeschooled, and instead go to school in town. Ida is furious,

I love this book a lot I like how Ida B was a different girl from the regular ones. She had a thing that no one can change about her. I really like the part when she talked to the apple trees and when they respond back to her and when she had really long conversations with them. When you are reading the story it makes you feel that you are living the life that Ida B is living. Sometimes she had her bad days and stuff with her mom when she was sick of cancer and when Clare and her became friends
It's not easy to be an Ida B in our world. From an early point in this book, it's plain to see that Ida B's quirkiness extends beyond that of most other kids, into a range of idiosyncrasy that will always make it difficult for her to accept when her well-laid plans don't go the way she envisions. Most people shrug off unwanted changes and deviations to their plans with relative ease, knowing that our world is too crazy and unpredictable for us to ever realistically expect everything to go our
Reading this book made me feel that maybe, just maybe I've been reading too many MG books of late. It did get better after a point and has its heart in the right place, but it made me want to break the monotony in my reading habit.I couldn't help but compare the protagonist to the one in Flipped, and while the character of Juli Baker is one you cannot help falling in love with, the love for nature somehow seemed forced in Ida B.That said, it made for an easy read and also carried an important
Ida B., is an inspirational story that shares the life of an eccentric, young girl. This realistic fiction novel is perfect for all children struggling to be themselves in a world full of imitation. Idas unique personality and bright imagination encourages self-confidence and exploration. Ida faces several challenging events within the story, but her determination and the bond with her family helps her to overcome these hardships. I really enjoyed how the author, Katherine Hannigan portrayed
