Here is a link to a previous question that should help you.
It says to turn the computer on while holding down the mouse button.
Some people use a two sided tape technique to get it out.
Others try to eject the disc with the computer on it's side and let gravity help.
Only the earliest iBooks had a manual eject on the drive.
Still others have found the drive bezel bent and used a wide flat head screwdriver to "open up" the slot more to make room for the disc to come out.
Good luck, you'll get it.

Yip, holding the mouse button down worked for me. Thanks for being here, great site this.
I don't know if this will help in your case, but this method worked my iBook G4 with a failed logic board. Try alt-booting until you see a blue screen with an arrow on the right, and a sort of bent arrow on the left. Once the cursor turns from a watch to a regular pointer, press and hold the "eject" key.
