Ida B. by Katheine Hannigan

Hannigan, Katherine.
IDA B. : AND HER PLANS TO MAXIMIZE FUN, AVOID DISASTER AND (POSSIBLY) SAVE THE WORLD

Ida B's first days at school were not what she expected. In fact, she was miserable. When her mother spends the day in school with her, she agrees that it is not where Ida B belongs. So, for the next few years, Ida B is home schooled. She loves spending her free time outdoors talking to the trees and the brook. And she loves spending time with her parents. But then the unthinkable happens. Her mother is diagnosed with cancer. Now her mother is too tired to teach her and her father is too busy taking care of the farm and his family. So Ida B has to go back to public school. Will fourth grade be as bad as she believes? Can Ida B adjust to all the changes happening in her life?
