Nine or ten-year-old Ida has a wonderful life being home schooled on a
farm in Wisconsin.  She is full of spirit, a colorful character.  When
her mother gets cancer, Ida can no longer be home schooled and she is
sent to the public school.  To top that off the family must sell off
part of her beloved orchard to pay for medical expenses.  Ida becomes
bitter but with the help of an understanding teacher and a caring
family, she learns to deal with all the changes.  This 246 page book
is an emotional story of a colorful girl, full of full of spirit who
has her life suddenly change.  It is told in a beautiful style.. a
must read.  This one was recommended to me by a student.
