Title: Ida B........ and Her Plans to Maximize Fun, Avoid Disaster, and Possibly Save the World
Author: Katharine Hannigan
Summary: Ida B. is a fourth grader growing up in Wisconsin. She is happily living on a farm with her dog, cat, mom, and dad. She enjoys talking to the trees and brook everyday, and she loves homeschooling. Life is as happy as can be for Ida B. until her mother gets cancer and Ida B. is forced to go to regular school. Ida B. must quickly make up a plan, making lots of mistakes along the way.
Comments: I enjoyed this book. Ida B. is a likeable character and I feel that any reader could have a connection to her. I know that I did! I thought it was really neat that homeschooling was portrayed in such a nice light in a book too. There is tragedy in this book (Ida B's mother is diagnosed with cancer, etc.), but Ida B. stays likeable and relatable throughout the whole book.
While the book has tragedy in it, things aren't taken too far (such as they are in the book Nest). I would probably recommend it to children of the age 10+ (I read this book when I was 9).
Complaints: None.
Rating: 5 stars
