Ida B.

by Katherine Hannigan  |  Grades: 3-7 |  Lexile 970  |  Reading Level 5.3

Ida B. Applewood believes there is never enough time for fun.

That's why she's so happy to be home-schooled and to spend every free second outside with the trees and the brook.

Then some not-so-great things happen in her world. Ida B has to go back to that Place of Slow but Sure Body-Cramping, Mind-Numbing, Fun-Killing Torture—school. She feels her heart getting smaller and smaller and hardening into a sharp, black stone.

How can things go from righter than right to a million miles beyond wrong? Can Ida B put together a plan to get things back to just-about perfect again?
