What readers think of Ida B, plus links to write your own review.

Thump. Ida B Applewood jumped out of the tree. Whoa!!! This is not your property! Get out! NOW!!! These are only some of the words that came out of Ida B’s mouth when she jumped out at Claire and her little brother. Katherine Hannigan wrote Ida B so you will never forget it.
Ida B is about a nine year old girl who has been home schooled her whole life. One day Ida B’s mother was diagnosed with cancer. She got very sick and Ida B had to go to a public school. Ernest B. Lawson Elementary School. A girl name Claire asked her if she wanted to play with her but she said “No Thanks” every single day.
Ida B has an orchard and it has a lot of trees in it. She climbs up them and sits on ones of their branches and talks to them with feelings. She goes to the orchard whenever she is sad or wants to tell somebody something. She also talks to a brook and the brook blabs on and on.

Ida B was an EXCELLENT book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I started it yesterday and finished it yesterday. I can't believe I didn't read it before! My best friend Elise and my teacher, Mrs. Verhagen, told me that Ida B was a GREAT book and that I would really enjoy it. Well, I was lucky enought that there was a book fair in my school. They had many copies of Ida B and I bought one. I started immediately and couldn't stop. The book pulled my in and I couldn't stop reading from the first page. I was experiencing all the adventures Ida B had. I was talking to the trees and the brook. I was not believing that Ida B's mother had cancer and I wasn't listening to Paulie T.

Ida B is a GREAT book. Read it and you will treasure the book for life as you read it to your children and they read it to their children. Ida B will be passed on in generations and nobody would forget it!!

This wonderful, no remarkable book was awesome! I stayed up while every one else was sleeping just to read this wonderful book! She was this remarkable young lady who just knew what she was doing. I am going to read Ida B. over and over again 'till i love it like i do now!

I thought it was excellent I hope she writes another one even better.

This book (Ida B) is soo wonderful to read. I stayed up very late turning the pages of the book. I could relate from it and I underatnd the feelings that Ida B had felt. It was so welcoming and addicting to read that I wanted to read it over and over and over again. The book made me cry and then it made me feel so over whemled with excitement! It was a great expeirence to discover the life of Ida B. I am 12 years old and I admire katherine Hannigan's writting!

This is a beautiful book! An upclose and personal walk with a gutsy and lovable young girl. Reading the book, I walked hand in hand with Ida B through her ever changing world of talkative trees, family dynamics and remarkable perseverance.

I resounded deeply with her quirky and viable love of Nature as well as her unique way of seeing the world, mostly her own.

An absolutely wonderful read. I recommend it highly. I am 37 and have given this book as a gift to both my adult friends as well as the children in my life. Do not miss it.

I would suggest this book to a young girl in like 5th or 6th grade. I thought it was a good book that you really had to concentrate on. I read Ida B 3 times; I liked the book a lot but I recomend the book ''Are You There God It's Me Margaret'' - that was a amazing book.

It was very Unusual. Overall it was pretty good.
