Ida B ... and Her Plans to Maximize Fun, Avoid Disaster, and (Possibly) Save the World
by Katherine Hannigan
I'd rush through my homework and lock myself in my room till dinner, then hurry through dishes and disappear till the next morning. I was working toward nothing less than the righting of wrongs, turning evil to good, and stopping the craziness that was steadily and surely taking over my valley. I was Ida B, Superhero Deluxe, Friend of the Downtrodden, Foe of Cancer, Meanness, Mindless Destruction, and Traditional Schooling.
I just started this book last night, and am not quite yet to page 123 (I'm on 109 of 246). Now, though, I'm intrigued and am looking forward to my lunch hour to find out what's going on. Sarah, I have to say, this book sounds a teensy bit more interesting than the one you were sitting next to. Children's fiction is where it's at. And Ida B is definitely a charming keeper.
Now who to tag? How about...AmyJane.

You always find the most interesting books to read!!! Any chance you could compile a list of your most recent favorites? It would seem I've read most of the books on our RS book group list!
P.S. How is everything going with the baby?
Sara - Good idea, Sara...I'll start compiling a list. So stay tuned. :)
As for the baby, this little one just doesn't slow down! It's always moving. I go back to the doctor in a few days and maybe we'll get an ultrasound scheduled...:)
Finished Ida B last night. Cute book. I recommend it. Some people say that the author tries too hard to be original with her character, and that may be, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. It's nice to read about a perky, happy-go-lucky character who's still human enough to get really upset over things. It's refreshing.
