Publisher Description
The New York Times bestselling debut novel from acclaimed children's author Katherine Hannigan is both very funny and extraordinarily moving.
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 modern classic is a great choice for independent reading.

Ida b
I love this book I did not buy it yet but when I am at school I read it it’s really get I love her feelings and her emotion she gives because her mom has caner and the are trying to get rid of it so the have fun again like the use to
Ida B
One of most interesting books ever written about an extremely emotional young girl .
At first I didn’t like Ida B for the way she treated her parents, especially her Mother.
Later Ida B redeemed herself by showing some compassion toward her parents and appreciated her parents’ reasoning for the land changes.
Mrs Hannigan, author extraordinaire , is truly an expert expressing in words her insight of one’s inner feelings .
A truly great read!!!!!
Love it
It's nice I love it but there are some chapters that it gets real boring
