Ida B. . . and Her Plans to Maximize Fun, Avoid Disaster, and (Possibly) Save the World by Katherine HanniganMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I loved this book. It reminded me of Kate DiCamillo's writing. Ida B is a wonderful, exciting character. She is easy to love. The plot is awesome too. Ida B is happy at home with her family. She loves to be home schooled and enjoy the apples trees on their property until one day her mother gets sick. As if it isn't' bad enough to be worried about her family, she has to go back to school and they need to sell some land. Ida B has to cope with the changes in her life. She has to accept the fear she feels and try to move forward. This story is touching. If anyone has ever had a loved one fall ill with cancer or any other disease, this story would touch them.
I would recommend this book to just about anyone. Cancer is a hard topic, but it touches most everyone at some point. Hannigan handles the topic in such a way even a very young reader could enjoy this story.
