Imogene's last stand (1st ed.)

Meet Imogene Tripp, a plucky girl with a passion for history.

As a baby, her first words were ';Four score and seven years ago.' In preschool, she finger-painted a map of the Oregon Trail.

So it's 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, ';The bulldozers are coming, the bulldozers are coming!' the townspeople won't budge.

What's a history-loving kid to do? Filled with quotes from history's biggest playersnot to mention mini-biosand lots of humor, this is the perfect book for budding historians. ';This girl-power story succeeds as an energeticand funnyagainst-all-odds tale.' The Horn Book Magazine, StarredFrom the Hardcover edition.
