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—life, really—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.
This first novel is both very funny and extraordinarily moving, and it introduces two shining stars—Katherine Hannigan and Ida B. Applewood.

This is a great book.It has a good message and it was interesting at the same time.
It is such a GOOD book!
her life is hard her mother has cancer and her dad has to sell parts of their land to pay the medical bill but all in all the book is amzing
I loved this book. It's about accepting new changes and friends. I love how it relates to the book, True(... Sort of) by the way the earth talks to them. I recommend this book to people that like reading about life suddenly falls apart but then gets put back together.
This was one of my favorites and I found it in the library a long time ago, but than this summer I saw a friend reading it, and decided to reread it in which I did. The book is such a touching book, in which a girl has to learn to grow up.
i love it!!
this book is really good
