My Review of Ida B
Ida B. is AWESOME! She is so down to earth! I totally understand why she was acting mean. Have you every felt so sad and angry you wanted just to be alone? Thats probably how Ida B. felt. I would of acted the same why, only I would try to make friends unlike Ida B.. I think it's a very good story. I would recomend it to all my friends.

Waste of time
I will start off by saying this: The book meant well, it was not trying to harm anyone in any way, But, it was probably the worst book I have ever read! If you are looking to buy or read this book, I would recommend you not to. Don't waste your time, or your money, trust me it's just not worth it!

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Emmy
This Rocks
I think Ida B. is a really great book. She has lots of imagination which encourages readers to not just sit around, but go and explore life!

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Amelia
I love this book
I love the book Ida B so much. I could relate with her so much with her family on the orchard and other things. The main thing that I could connect to is with her and her mother.

The reason why I could really picture the book with her family her mom her dad and Ida B is because I am 11 years old and I am in the 5th grade. In chapter 8 or 9 Ida B's mom got cancer I think it was breast cancer, but I'm not sure.

On March 27, 2008 my amazing mother found out that she had breast cancer. I cried just like Ida B, I was upset heart broken just like Ida B.

Ida B had a black heart, but I don't. My mom is being so positive about this just like Ida B's mother. The thing that I don't relate to is that I think Ida B's mother found the cancer later so she had to go through chemo and that is why her hair fell out. With my mom they found it early so she will be fine with everything.

I love the book Id B I relate to it I love it and I have my soul in it.

Thank you for writing this book for me so I know everything is going to be just fine.

The Reason I Read
Hi my name is Mishaila. I am a big fan of your book Ida B. I can really relate to the character Ida B. Authors like you and Kate Dicamillo are the reason I read. One thing that I want to do before I die is publish at least one book. I hope one day I can meet you, maybe you can give me some pointers.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Katherine Son
This book is so fanstatic
It is great and emotional. Ida B is a great person because she try to do the thing right instead of being mistake. She is truly a genius and has reflect her mind to mine. This show how Ida B want to save the world and life. Katherine Hannigan should get a noble prize.
