Must Read–Ida B.

I just finished a great book!  Yes, it’s a children’s book, probably at a 3rd to 5th grade reading level, but that doesn’t mean it can’t still be a great book for adults too!

I would encourage children and adults alike to check out this great read.

Ida B by Katherine Hannigan, is about a girl, Ida, who finds out her mom has cancer which changes her world.  She has some big feelings that she isn’t sure how to handle and the book is about how she deals with it all.

Ida is a character you will fall in love with!  The writer has given her a witty, bright, and energetic personality that is fun to read.  Ida is full of delightful sayings and one liners that are sure to put a smile on your face.

This book is funny, entertaining, poignant, and actually thought provoking.  It reminded me to be careful in not judging other people’s actions.  You never know what is happening in their lives and they may be hurting so much they just don’t know how to deal with it all, like little Ida B.

I really do hope you will check out this book and let me know what you think!  It’s a great read and will be well worth your time…even if it is a kids book:)
