Ida B: . . . And Her Plans to Maximize Fun, Avoid Disaster, And (Possibly) Save the World by Katherine Hannigan

Youth Fiction - 4 stars

This is a delightful children's book about a young girl, Ida B. Applewood, who grows up on a farm (orchard, really), is home-schooled by her parents, and has relationships with the natural objects she sees every day. When her mother gets cancer, and Ida B. experiences changes like going to school and seeing part of her land sold, she must deal with her anger. Along the way, she learns a few things about others and herself. Megan and I loved it.
