  <default_description>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&#8212;life, really&#8212;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.

    <body><![CDATA[Will Katherine Hannigan please write another story?  She is an incredible writer--when Ida B. hardened herself to the world, I hardened myself to the world.  I literally felt like I was experiencing what she was.  How did Katherine Hannigan do that?! Oh, I wish I could write like that!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Ida B Applewood is certainly a character. Some here say she gets to be annoying, but I never felt that at all. Perhaps it is because I listened to the audio version of the book, read by actress Lili Taylor (I find listening to audio books in the car is the perfect way to preview read alouds for my c...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75580173">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a young adult novel (that is mostly what I read these days since I teach 8th graders) but this is a great book for any age. I initially read the book because my grandma's name was Ida, but I soon found out that this is such a fun and inspiring story.]]></body>
