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?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n Filled with quotes from history’s biggest players—not to mention mini-bios—and lots of humor, this is the perfect book for budding historians.\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n “This girl-power story succeeds as an energetic—and funny—against-all-odds tale.” —\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Horn Book Magazine, Starred\u003cbr\u003e\n      Review      \u003cbr\u003e\nStarred Review, The Horn Book Magazine, November\/December 2009: \"With a light touch, complemented by Carpenter’s breezy illustrations, Fleming introduces rather than stresses these issues, making room for more thoughtful discussion but never requiring it\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPublishers Weekly, October 5, 2009: \"Imogene’s passion and comedic perseverance inspire\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nKirkus Reviews, September 1, 2009: \"Fleming peppers the text with famous quotes that add a layer of historical depth to the story\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBooklist, July 1, 2009: \"Fleming’s sense of small-town space is impeccable; Carpenter’s pen-and-ink art enjoyably scribbly; and the historical facts and quotes that bookend the story are just the thing to get new Imogenes fired up.\"\u003cbr\u003e\n      About the Author      \u003cbr\u003e\nCandace Fleming is the prolific author of many critically acclaimed books for children, including the picture books\u003cbr\u003e\nOh, No!,\u003cbr\u003e\nClever Jack Takes the Cake, and\u003cbr\u003e\nImogene's Last Stand.
