The Best Book in History! :)
I have never read a book anything like this! I loved it. All you people out there, if you haven't read this book, I am forcing you to! If IdaB. really exists, I would go to the end of the world just to see her! I'm begging you to read this. There is a 99.999% chance you will love it!

THIS BOOK WAS THE BEST BOOK EVER!
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.

Rated 3 of 5 of 5 by tubby the tuba
boring but great all together
This is book is all fun and exciment, but at some points of the book it does get a little boring. That is I think because something good is about to happen or in some cases a disaster.

This book is about a girl who is home schooled and then she has to go to public school and she hates it Her mom gets dignoised with cancer and they have to sell half of the oracherd. She hates it also, and puts up signs trying top scare the neighbors away. She finds out one of her new neighbors are in her class. Read to find out more about this thrilling and exciting book.
