We listened to a couple books on tape during our car ride over to Montana but Ida B is the only one I thought qualified to count as a book read toward my yearly total. It was unabridged after all.
The subject matter was a bit weighty for Hen, Ida B's mom gets sick with cancer and her treatment and its side effects are discussed throughout the book. But Hannigan does a good job creating the mind of the young child and giving her readers insight to what that child thinks when life changes as a result of illness. We ended up having a discussion about death, a lengthy discussion since Hen appeared rather worried I'd be dying, too.
15 down plus 37 to go.
