Description
Meet Imogene Tripp, a plucky girl with a passion for history. As a baby, her first words were โFour score and seven years ago.โ In preschool, she finger-painted a map of the Oregon Trail. So itโs not surprising that when the mayor wants to tear down the long-neglected Liddleville Historical Society to make room for a shoelace factory, Imogene is desperate to convince the town how important its history is. But even though she rides through the streets in her Paul Revere costume shouting, โThe bulldozers are coming, the bulldozers are coming!โ the townspeople wonโt budge. Whatโs a history-loving kid to do?Filled with quotes from historyโs biggest playersโnot to mention mini-biosโand lots of humor, this is the perfect book for budding historians.
โThis girl-power story succeeds as an energeticโand funnyโagainst-all-odds tale.โ โ The Horn Book Magazine, Starred ISBN:9780385386548
